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.

Version:0.0.3

Key:pipefy-card-expired

View on GitHub

Pipefy Overview#

Using the Pipefy API, it is possible to build powerful workflows that help to streamline the entire process of managing any given task or process. The API provides access to all of Pipefy’s features, allowing developers to create custom-built workflows that are tailored for their specific needs.

With Pipefy’s API, developers can take advantage of the following:

Create and manage customized pipelines
Automatically trigger events between different phases
Track progress and milestones
Establish custom notifications
Manage resources

Examples of what you can build with the Pipefy API:

A workflow to oversee the recruitment process, from applicant submission to onboarding.
A workflow to organize the marketing team’s daily, weekly and monthly tasks.
A workflow to oversee the development of software products, from planning to the release.
An automated system for processing customer requests and complaints.
A workflow to manage product releases from inception to launch.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "Card Expired",
  key: "pipefy-card-expired",
  description: "Emits an event each time a card becomes expired in a Pipe.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    isCardRelevant({ node }) {
      return (
        node.expired &&
        !node.done
      );
    },
    getMeta({
      node, event,
    }) {
      const {
        id: nodeId,
        title: summary,
        current_phase: { id: currentPhaseId },
      } = node;
      const id = `${nodeId}${currentPhaseId}`;
      const { timestamp: ts } = event;
      return {
        id,
        summary,
        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
Pipefy	`pipefy`	`app`	This component uses the Pipefy app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Pipe ID	`pipeId`	`integer`	ID of the Pipe, found in the URL when viewing the Pipe.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

To authorize requests to the Pipefy API, you'll need to generate a Personal access token. In order to create Pipefy triggers in Pipedream, you will need to be a Pipefy administrator.

Click Generate new token and give the token a description

Action#

Create Multiple Records on Airtable

Description:Create one or more records in a table by passing an array of objects containing field names and values as key/value pairs.

Version:0.2.0

Key:airtable-create-multiple-records

View on GitHub

Airtable Overview#

Using the Airtable API, you can build applications that can:

Create and manage databases
Add, update, and delete records
Search for records
Sort and filter records
Display records in a variety of ways
Import and export data

Action Code#

import chunk from "lodash.chunk";
import airtable from "../../airtable.app.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";

const BATCH_SIZE = 10; // The Airtable API allows us to update up to 10 rows per request.

export default {
  key: "airtable-create-multiple-records",
  name: "Create Multiple Records",
  description: "Create one or more records in a table by passing an array of objects containing field names and values as key/value pairs.",
  version: "0.2.0",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    records: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "records",
      ],
    },
    typecast: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "typecast",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const baseId = this.baseId?.value ?? this.baseId;
    const tableId = this.tableId?.value ?? this.tableId;

    const table = this.airtable.base(baseId)(tableId);

    let data = this.records;
    if (!Array.isArray(data)) {
      data = JSON.parse(data);
    }
    data = data.map((fields) => ({
      fields,
    }));
    if (!data.length) {
      throw new Error("No Airtable record data passed to step. Please pass at least one record");
    }

    const params = {
      typecast: this.typecast,
    };

    const responses = [];
    for (const c of chunk(data, BATCH_SIZE)) {
      try {
        responses.push(...(await table.create(c, params)));
      } catch (err) {
        this.airtable.throwFormattedError(err);
      }
    }

    const l = responses.length;
    $.export("$summary", `Added ${l} record${l === 1
      ? ""
      : "s"} to ${this.baseId?.label || baseId}: [${this.tableId?.label || tableId}](https://airtable.com/${baseId}/${tableId})`);

    return responses;
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Records	`records`	`string`	Provide an array of objects. Each object should represent a new record with the column name as the key and the data to insert as the corresponding value (e.g., passing `[{"foo":"bar","id":123},{"foo":"baz","id":456}]` will create two records and with values added to the fields `foo` and `id`). The most common pattern is to reference an array of objects exported by a previous step (e.g., `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`). You may also enter or construct a string that will `JSON.parse()` to an array of objects.
Typecast	`typecast`	`boolean`	The Airtable API will perform best-effort automatic data conversion from string values if the typecast parameter is `True`. Automatic conversion is disabled by default to ensure data integrity, but it may be helpful for integrating with 3rd party data sources.

Action Authentication#

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

Visit your account settings, copy your API key, and enter it below. If you only need to read data from Airtable, and not modify it, you can generate a read-only API key.
