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
Pipedrive	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Pipedrive app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the Pipedrive API

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.
