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.

Trigger#

New Records on Airtable

Description:Emit new event for each new record in a table

Version:0.0.6

Key:airtable_oauth-new-records

View on GitHub

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

export default {
  ...base,
  name: "New Records",
  description: "Emit new event for each new record in a table",
  key: "airtable_oauth-new-records",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...base.props,
    tableId: {
      propDefinition: [
        base.props.airtable,
        "tableId",
        ({ baseId }) => ({
          baseId,
        }),
      ],
      description: "The table ID to watch for changes.",
    },
    returnFieldsByFieldId: {
      propDefinition: [
        base.props.airtable,
        "returnFieldsByFieldId",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const {
      baseId,
      tableId,
      viewId,
    } = this;

    const lastTimestamp = this._getLastTimestamp();
    const params = {
      filterByFormula: `CREATED_TIME() > "${lastTimestamp}"`,
      returnFieldsByFieldId: this.returnFieldsByFieldId || false,
    };

    const records = await this.airtable.listRecords({
      baseId,
      tableId,
      params,
    });

    if (!records.length) {
      console.log("No new records.");
      return;
    }

    const metadata = {
      baseId,
      tableId,
      viewId,
    };

    let maxTimestamp;
    let recordCount = 0;
    for (const record of records) {
      record.metadata = metadata;

      this.$emit(record, {
        ts: moment(record.createdTime).valueOf(),
        summary: JSON.stringify(record.fields),
        id: record.id,
      });
      if (!maxTimestamp || moment(record.createdTime).valueOf() > moment(maxTimestamp).valueOf()) {
        maxTimestamp = record.createdTime;
      }
      recordCount++;
    }
    console.log(`Emitted ${recordCount} new records(s).`);
    this._setLastTimestamp(maxTimestamp);
  },
};

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	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable 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.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Trigger Authentication#

Airtable uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Airtable account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Airtable 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 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

JW Player Overview#

The JW Player API offers a way to manage and deliver video content programmatically. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate video publishing workflows, analyze viewer data, and integrate with other services. Creating, updating, and managing video metadata can be automated, as well as handling video transcoding jobs and analyzing performance with custom metrics. By tapping into Pipedream's serverless platform, you can build powerful automations without managing infrastructure.
