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 Record on Knack

Description:Emit new event for each record created

Version:0.0.2

Key:knack-new-record

View on GitHub

Knack Overview#

The Knack API allows for robust interactions with your Knack database, enabling automation of data entry, retrieval, updates, and deletion. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to create seamless workflows that react to events in real-time, sync data across platforms, and enhance your database management without manual intervention. Think less about CRUD operations and more about the magic of connecting your Knack data to the digital tools ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import knack from "../../knack.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "knack-new-record",
  name: "New Record",
  description: "Emit new event for each record created",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    knack,
    objectKey: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Object Key",
      description: "The key of the object which this record belongs to. See [the Knack API docs](https://docs.knack.com/docs/object-based-requests) for more information.",
    },
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const records = await this.knack.getAllRecords($, {
      objectKey: this.objectKey,
    }, {
      rows_per_page: 100,
    }, true);

    for (const record of records) {
      this.$emit(record, {
        id: record.id,
        summary: `New record ${record.id}`,
        ts: new Date(),
      });
    }
  },
};

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
Knack	`knack`	`app`	This component uses the Knack app.
Object Key	`objectKey`	`string`	The key of the object which this record belongs to. See the Knack API docs for more information.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Object-based requests require at least two headers: an application ID - to identify to our servers the app whose records you are requesting - and an API key (which is specific to each app) to authenticate the request. See docs

RingCentral Overview#

RingCentral is a comprehensive cloud communication platform that melds messaging, video, and phone services. Integrating RingCentral with Pipedream allows for automated workflows involving SMS sending, call management, and leveraging communication logs for data-driven insights. With Pipedream's serverless execution model, you can trigger actions based on specific RingCentral events or schedule tasks to run at predetermined intervals, all without writing extensive code.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any RingCentral API.

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