Trigger#

New Custom Event on UpKeep

Description:Emit new event when a configured event occurs.

Version:0.0.2

UpKeep Overview#

The UpKeep API enables users to seamlessly integrate maintenance management tasks with Pipedream's serverless execution platform. By leveraging UpKeep's endpoints, you can automate workflows related to asset tracking, work order management, and preventive maintenance scheduling. The API's capabilities allow for real-time updates on equipment status, automated notifications for maintenance tasks, and data synchronization across maintenance teams and tools.

Trigger Code#

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

    },
    getTime() {

  },
};

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
UpKeep	`app`	`app`	This component uses the UpKeep app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Event types	`events`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Work Order Created", "value": "WORK_ORDER_CREATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Updated", "value": "WORK_ORDER_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Status Updated", "value": "WORK_ORDER_STATUS_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Deleted", "value": "WORK_ORDER_DELETED" }{ "label": "PM Work Order Created", "value": "PM_WORK_ORDER_CREATED" }{ "label": "PM Work Order Updated", "value": "PM_WORK_ORDER_UPDATED" }{ "label": "PM Work Order Deleted", "value": "PM_WORK_ORDER_DELETED" }{ "label": "Work Order Schedule Created", "value": "WORK_ORDER_SCHEDULE_CREATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Schedule Updated", "value": "WORK_ORDER_SCHEDULE_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Schedule Status Updated", "value": "WORK_ORDER_SCHEDULE_STATUS_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Work Order Schedule Deleted", "value": "WORK_ORDER_SCHEDULE_DELETED" }{ "label": "Purchase Order Updated", "value": "PURCHASE_ORDER_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Purchase Order Created", "value": "PURCHASE_ORDER_CREATED" }{ "label": "Purchase Order Deleted", "value": "PURCHASE_ORDER_DELETED" }{ "label": "Purchase Order Approved", "value": "PURCHASE_ORDER_APPROVED" }{ "label": "Purchase Order Declined", "value": "PURCHASE_ORDER_DECLINED" }{ "label": "Request Created", "value": "REQUEST_CREATED" }{ "label": "Request Updated", "value": "REQUEST_UPDATED" }{ "label": "Request Approved", "value": "REQUEST_APPROVED" }{ "label": "Request Rejected", "value": "REQUEST_REJECTED" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-records)

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.

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.

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.
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.

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:
