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.

New Timesheet Entry on Harvest

Description:Emit new notifications when a new timesheet entry is created

Version:0.0.4

Key:harvest-new-timesheet-entry

Harvest Overview#

The Harvest API allows developers to programmatically access data and objects
in Harvest, a web-based time tracking application. With the API, developers can
create applications that submit and retrieve time tracking data, as well as
automate various aspects of the Harvest user experience.

Some examples of what you can build using the Harvest API include:

A time tracking application that automatically submits time tracking data to
Harvest on behalf of the user
A reporting application that retrieves time tracking data from Harvest and
presents it in various charts and graphs
An integration with a third-party project management application that pulls
in time tracking data from Harvest to provide a more complete picture of
project progress

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
Harvest	`harvest`	`app`	This component uses the Harvest app.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll Harvest API on this schedule
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Create Multiple Records on Airtable (OAuth)

Description:Create one or more records in a table by passing an array of objects containing field names and values as key/value pairs. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-records)

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.

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.
