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 Deployment on Vercel

Description:Emit new event when a deployment is created

Version:0.0.2

Key:vercel_token_auth-new-deployment

View on GitHub

Vercel Overview#

Vercel provides an API that allows you to authenticate users and manage access
to your applications and services. With the Vercel API, you can easily build
an array of applications, from complete single-page applications to scalable
applications and services. Here are a few examples of what you can build with
Vercel's API:

SSO (Single Sign-On) solutions that securely authenticate users across
multiple devices and applications
Secure access control solutions to protect sensitive data and services
APIs that provide easy access to third-party data
User registration and management tools
Content management solutions
Data analysis tools and applications
Back-end services for web applications
Customizable dashboards for web applications
Automated email notifications for applications and services

Trigger Code#

/* eslint-disable pipedream/required-properties-name */
/* eslint-disable pipedream/required-properties-description */
/* eslint-disable pipedream/required-properties-version */
/* eslint-disable pipedream/required-properties-type */
import base from "../../../vercel/sources/new-deployment/new-deployment.mjs";
import overrideApp from "../../common/override-app.mjs";

overrideApp(base);

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "vercel_token_auth-new-deployment",
  version: "0.0.2",
};

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
Vercel	`vercel`	`app`	This component uses the Vercel app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project	`project`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
State	`state`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`BUILDINGERRORINITIALIZINGQUEUEDREADYCANCELED`
Max	`max`	`integer`	Maximum number of results to return

Trigger Authentication#

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

Vercel encourages users to connect their account with Pipedream using Personal Access Tokens, which can be managed in your Vercel account here.

To learn more, refer to Vercel's documentation.

About Vercel#

Vercel is the platform for frontend developers, providing the speed and reliability innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration.

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.
