MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mongodb-new-database",
  name: "New Database",
  description: "Emit new an event when a new database is added",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getDbNames() {
      return this.db.get("dbNames");
    },
    _setDbNames(dbNames) {
      this.db.set("dbNames", dbNames);
    },
    isRelevant({ name }, dbNames) {
      return !dbNames.includes(name);
    },
    async processEvent(client, ts) {
      const dbNames = this._getDbNames() || [];
      const databases = await this.mongodb.listDatabases(client);
      for (const db of databases) {
        if (!this.isRelevant(db, dbNames)) {
          continue;
        }
        dbNames.push(db.name);
        this.emitEvent(db, ts);
      }
      this._setDbNames(dbNames);
    },
    generateMeta({ name }, ts) {
      return {
        id: name,
        summary: name,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
MongoDB	`mongodb`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.

About MongoDB#

MongoDB is an open source NoSQL database management program.

iContact Overview#

The iContact API provides a programmable way to manage email marketing campaigns, contacts, lists, and messages within iContact's service. Through this API, you can automate the creation and sending of emails, manage subscribers, and track the performance of your campaigns. When used on Pipedream, the iContact API allows you to create serverless workflows that integrate with other apps and services, trigger actions based on various conditions, and automate repetitive tasks.
