Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Row on MySQL

Description:Emit new event when you add a new row to a table. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)

Version:2.0.3

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/table.mjs";

const { mysql } = common.props;

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mysql-new-row",

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Before you connect to your MySQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 3306), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured using a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.

About MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

QuickBooks Overview#

The QuickBooks API allows for streamlined financial management within Pipedream's ecosystem, enabling automated accounting and data syncing across various platforms. With this API, you can manipulate invoices, manage sales receipts, handle expenses, and synchronize customer data. It's a robust tool for financial oversight and automation that can save time and reduce errors for businesses of all sizes.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
QuickBooks	`quickbooks`	`app`	This component uses the QuickBooks app.
Vendor Ref Value	`vendorRefValue`	`string`	Reference to the vendor for this transaction. Query the Vendor name list resource to determine the appropriate Vendor object for this reference. Use `Vendor.Id` from that object for `VendorRef.value`.
Line Items	`lineItems`	`string[]`	Individual line items of a transaction. Valid Line types include: `ItemBasedExpenseLine` and `AccountBasedExpenseLine`. One minimum line item required for the request to succeed. E.g `[ { "DetailType": "AccountBasedExpenseLineDetail", "Amount": 200.0, "AccountBasedExpenseLineDetail": { "AccountRef": { "value": "1" } } } ]`
Vendor Reference Name	`vendorRefName`	`string`	Reference to the vendor for this transaction. Query the Vendor name list resource to determine the appropriate Vendor object for this reference. Use `Vendor.Name` from that object for `VendorRef.name`.
Currency Reference Value	`currencyRefValue`	`string`	A three letter string representing the ISO 4217 code for the currency. For example, `USD`, `AUD`, `EUR`, and so on. This must be defined if multicurrency is enabled for the company. Multicurrency is enabled for the company if `Preferences.MultiCurrencyEnabled` is set to `true`. Read more about multicurrency support here. Required if multicurrency is enabled for the company.
Currency Reference Name	`currencyRefName`	`string`	The full name of the currency.
Minor Version	`minorVersion`	`string`	Use the `minorversion` query parameter in REST API requests to access a version of the API other than the generally available version. For example, to invoke minor version 1 of the JournalEntry entity, issue the following request: `https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/<realmId>/journalentry/entityId?minorversion=1`

Action Authentication#

QuickBooks uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your QuickBooks account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into QuickBooks and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any QuickBooks API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

com.intuit.quickbooks.accountingopenidprofileemail
