Microsoft SQL Server Overview#

With the Microsoft SQL Server API on Pipedream, you can automate your database operations and create powerful integrations. This API allows you to execute queries, manage databases, and trigger actions based on data changes. Implementing workflows that react to database events, manipulate data, or synchronize SQL Server data with other services, becomes effortless with Pipedream's serverless platform.

Trigger Code#

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";
import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "microsoft_sql_server-new-column",

  description: "Triggers when a new column is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-columns-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    table: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "table",

    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getCurrentColumns() {
      return this.db.get(constants.CURRENT_COLUMNS) || [];
    },
    setCurrentColumns(columns) {
      this.db.set(constants.CURRENT_COLUMNS, columns);
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: uuidv4(),
        summary: `New Column Added: ${resource.COLUMN_NAME}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
    async listResults() {
      const {
        app,
        table,
        getCurrentColumns,
      } = this;

      const columns = getCurrentColumns();
      const { recordset } = await app.listNewColumns({
        table,
        columns,
      });

      const newColumns = recordset.map(({ COLUMN_NAME: column }) => column);

      this.processResources(recordset);
      this.setCurrentColumns(newColumns.concat(columns));
    },
  },
};

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
Microsoft SQL Server	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft SQL Server app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Microsoft SQL Server 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 1433), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

Zoho Campaigns Overview#

The Zoho Campaigns API opens up a world of possibilities for email marketing automation within Pipedream, allowing you to manage contacts, campaigns, and reports programmatically. You can connect Zoho Campaigns with other apps to create workflows that automate various tasks, such as synchronizing subscriber lists, triggering campaigns based on specific actions or events, and analyzing campaign performance with custom metrics.
