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
Onfleet	`onfleet`	`app`	This component uses the Onfleet app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
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.
Name	`webhookName`	`string`	A name for the webhook for identification.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Onfleet account and sign in
Go to Settings > API & Webhooks

Action#

Create Multiple Records on Airtable (OAuth)

Airtable (OAuth) 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_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.

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

        const records = await this.airtable.createRecord({
          baseId,

          data: c,

    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 (OAuth)	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable (OAuth) 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 (OAuth) uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Airtable (OAuth) account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Airtable (OAuth) 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 (OAuth) API.

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
