Airtable (OAuth) Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "New Field",
  description: "Emit new event for each new field created in a table",
  key: "airtable_oauth-new-field",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "source",

    tableId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.airtable,
        "tableId",
        ({ baseId }) => ({
          baseId,

      });
    }

    this._setFieldIds(fieldIds);
  },

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
Airtable (OAuth)	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable (OAuth) app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

Shopify Developer App Overview#

By creating a custom app on Shopify, you will be able to configure the exact scopes that you require to build the workflows that you need.

The Shopify Developer App API unleashes a myriad of possibilities to automate and enhance online store operations. It provides programmatic access to Shopify functionalities, allowing users to manage products, customers, orders, and more. Leveraging the API within Pipedream, developers can create custom workflows that automate repetitive tasks, sync data across platforms, and respond dynamically to events in Shopify.

Action Code#

import shopify from "../../shopify_developer_app.app.mjs";
import common from "../../../shopify/actions/create-custom-collection/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "shopify_developer_app-create-custom-collection",
  name: "Create Custom Collection",
  description: "Create a new custom collection. [See the documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-01/resources/customcollection#post-custom-collections)",

  type: "action",
  props: {
    shopify,
    title: {
      propDefinition: [
        shopify,
        "title",
      ],
      description: "The name of the custom collection",
    },

        shopify,
        "metafields",
      ],
    },
    ...common.props,
