New Submission Recieved on GoCanvas

Description:Emit new event when a new submission is uploaded to GoCanvas.

Version:0.0.1

GoCanvas Overview#

The GoCanvas API allows for the automation of document processing tasks, enabling data extraction from PDFs with ease, thus facilitating the seamless transfer of this data to other systems or databases. This proves particularly useful for businesses aiming to digitize paper-based processes, automate data entry, or integrate with other digital tools to enhance productivity and reduce manual errors.

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
GoCanvas	`gocanvas`	`app`	This component uses the GoCanvas app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Form	`form`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Go to Account > Account Settings. Scroll down to the Security Settings > API Keys and click Settings.
On this page, check the box to Enable API Keys and then click Create API Key.

For username, use your email address such as test_user@gocanvas.com. See docs.

MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Action Code#

import mongodbApp from "../../mongodb.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mongodb-create-new-document",
  name: "Create New Document",
  description: "Create a new document in a collection of your choice. [See the docs here](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/insert-documents/)",
  version: "0.1.5",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    mongodbApp,
    database: {
      propDefinition: [
        mongodbApp,
        "database",
      ],
    },
    collection: {
      propDefinition: [
        mongodbApp,
        "collection",
        (c) => ({
          database: c.database,
        }),
      ],
    },
    data: {
      label: "Data",
      type: "object",
      description: "The object to be used in document creation. Values will be interpreted as strings. To pass a number, boolean, array, or object, wrap the value in an expression. eg. `{{1}}`",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const document = await this.mongodbApp.createDocument(
      this.data,
      this.database,
      this.collection,
    );
    $.export("$summary", `Document "${document.insertedId}" successfully created`);
    return document;
  },
};

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MongoDB	`mongodbApp`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.
