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.

Snowflake Overview#

Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.

Getting Started

1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake

Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

2. Enter those details in Pipedream

Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.

You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.

3. Build your first workflow

Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.

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
Snowflake	`snowflake`	`app`	This component uses the Snowflake app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Watch for changes on this schedule
SQL Query	`sqlQuery`	`string`	Run this query on a schedule, triggering the workflow for each row of results
Primary key	`dedupeKey`	`string`	The column in your query to use for de-duplication. Duplicate rows won't trigger your workflow
Emit individual events	`emitIndividualEvents`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, triggering workflows on each record in the result set. Set to `false` to emit records in batch (advanced)

Trigger Authentication#

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

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

Enter the username, password, and other details below. The account field expects your Snowflake account identifier. You may need to include the full identifier and region as a part of this string, e.g. au12345.us-east-1. Please consult your instance and Snowflake docs for more detail.

Action#

Create Check In on Foursquare

Description:Allows the user to generate a new check-in at a specific location on Foursquare. [See the documentation](https://docs.foursquare.com/developer/reference/create-a-checkin)

Foursquare Overview#

The Foursquare API empowers developers to tap into rich data about venues, user check-ins, and location-based experiences. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate tasks such as fetching venue recommendations based on user preferences, keeping a log of customer visits to your business, or integrating location insights into your CRM. Combining Foursquare data with other services on Pipedream allows you to create powerful, location-aware business solutions without the heavy lifting of manual data handling.

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
Foursquare	`foursquare`	`app`	This component uses the Foursquare app.
Venue ID	`venueId`	`string`	The ID of the venue where you want to interact.

Action Authentication#

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

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