import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "pipedrive-new-person-instant",
  name: "New Person (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new person is created.",

    getExtraData() {
      return {
        event_action: "create",
        event_object: "person",
      };
    },
    getSummary(body) {
      return `New Person successfully created: ${body.data.id}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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	`pipedrive`	`app`	This component uses the Pipedrive 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.

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.

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 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[]`	Each item in the array should be an object in JSON format, representing a new record. The keys are the column names and the corresponding values are the data to insert.
Typecast	`typecast`	`boolean`	The Airtable API will perform best-effort automatic data conversion from string values if the typecast parameter is `True`. This is disabled by default to ensure data integrity, but it may be helpful for integrating with 3rd party data sources.
Return Fields By ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	If set to `true`, the returned field objects will have the field ID as the key, instead of 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.
