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.

Ninox Overview#

The Ninox API allows you to interact programmatically with the Ninox database platform. By harnessing this API via Pipedream, you can automate data entry, synchronize databases with other apps, and trigger actions based on specific events within your Ninox tables. It facilitates bidirectional communication, ensuring your data flows seamlessly between Ninox and other services in your tech stack. From sending notifications based on Ninox triggers to processing and analyzing data from other sources within Ninox, the possibilities are extensive.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
export default defineSource({
    ...common,
    name: "New Record",
    version: "0.0.2",
    key: "ninox-new-record",
    description: "Emit new event on each created record.",
    type: "source",
    dedupe: "unique",
    methods: {
        ...common.methods,
        getTimestampField() {
            return "createdAt";
        },
        emitEvent(data) {
            this.$emit(data, {
                id: data.id,
                summary: `New record created with id ${data.id}`,
                ts: Date.parse(data.createdAt),
            });
        },
    },
});

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
Ninox	`ninox`	`app`	This component uses the Ninox app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Team ID	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Database ID	`databaseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Ninox account and sign in

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
