New Shortened URL Created on TinyURL

TinyURL Overview#

The TinyURL API lets you shorten URLs seamlessly, which can be particularly useful when dealing with lengthy or complex web addresses. With Pipedream, you can integrate the TinyURL API to create concise, manageable links that can be easily shared, tracked, or embedded in various digital content. Beyond simple URL shortening, using Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to automate workflows that involve generating, distributing, and monitoring TinyURLs in conjunction with other apps and services.

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 Code#

import airtable from "../../airtable_oauth.app.mjs";

import commonActions from "../../common/actions.mjs";

export default {

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.
Record ID	`recordId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
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.

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
