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.

build integrations with other services. Here’s a short list of some of the
things you can do with NoCodeDB:

Create real-time web applications by connecting to your users via WebSockets
Securely store and manage data for user accounts and settings
Create custom APIs to extend your applications
Create integrations with third-party services such as Stripe, Salesforce,
Google Drive, and Dropbox
Deploy on serverless infrastructure to ensure fast and reliable results
Create custom data models to define relationships between data
Create custom queries to access data in powerful ways
Automate tasks with serverless functions
Monitor application performance and security with detailed analysis
Extend existing applications with custom data and logic
Utilize modern data practices such as GraphQL and cloud storage
Create secure and fully compliant serverless environments
And more!

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
nocodb	`nocodb`	`app`	This component uses the nocodb app.
Project Id	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table Name	`tableName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Nocodb API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

Your API key can be found in API Tokens Management within your database.
Your domain is where you app is hosted, so for https://mytable.com use mytable.com for the domain.

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",

    ...common.props,
    records: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "records",
      ],
    },
    typecast: {
      propDefinition: [

      ],
    },
  },
  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.
