Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Namely trigger and Airtable action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Created User trigger
1. Connect your Namely account
2. Configure timer
Configure the Create Multiple Records action
1. Connect your Airtable account
2. Select a Base
3. Select a Table
4. Configure Records
5. Optional- Configure Typecast
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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 Created User on Namely

Description:Emit new event for each user created.

Version:0.0.2

Key:namely-created-user

View on GitHub

Namely Overview#

The Namely API provides a set of tools that you can use to build applications
that interact with Namely data. With the Namely API, you can:

Retrieve information about Namely accounts, users, and jobs
Create and update Namely data
Search for Namely data
Authenticate Namely users

Here are some examples of what you can build with the Namely API:

A web application that allows Namely users to view and update their account
information
A mobile application that allows Namely users to search for jobs and view job
descriptions
An application that allows Namely administrators to manage account data and
user permissions

Trigger Code#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import base from "../common/base-user.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...base,
    key: "namely-created-user",
    version: "0.0.2",
    name: "New Created User",
    description: "Emit new event for each user created.",
    type: "source",
    dedupe: "unique",
    methods: {
        async emitEvent(user) {
            this.$emit(user, {
                id: user.id,
                summary: `New user created with id ${user.id}`,
                ts: Date.parse(user.created_at),
            });
        },
    },
});

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
Namely	`namely`	`app`	This component uses the Namely app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.

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.
