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.

  1. Select this integration
  2. Configure the New Created User trigger
    1. Connect your Namely account
    2. Configure timer
  3. 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
  4. Deploy the workflow
  5. Send a test event to validate your setup
  6. 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

Description:Emit new event for each user created.
Version:0.0.2
Key:namely-created-user

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.

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

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:0.0.1
Key:airtable_oauth-create-multiple-records

Action Code

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

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

export default {
  key: "airtable_oauth-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: "0.0.1",

    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 responses = [];
    for (const c of chunk(data, BATCH_SIZE)) {
      try {
        const { records } = await this.airtable.createRecord({
          baseId,
          tableId,
          data: {
            typecast: this.typecast,
            records: c,
          },
          $,
        });
        responses.push(...records);
      } 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.

LabelPropTypeDescription
AirtableairtableappThis component uses the Airtable app.
BasebaseIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
TabletableIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
Recordsrecordsstring

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.

Typecasttypecastboolean

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 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:manage
