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.

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
De-duplication Key	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Where condition	`condition`	`string`	In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. `column1 = ? or column2 = ?`). Depending on the number of `?` symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.
Values	`values`	`string[]`	This is the list of values that will match every `?` symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. `{{["string1", "string2"]}}`)

Trigger Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.

About MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

Vero Overview#

Vero's API allows you to automate email marketing tasks such as managing campaigns, users, and events. Integrating Vero with Pipedream enables you to create workflows that respond to various triggers, like webhooks or schedules, and carry out actions such as sending emails, segmenting users, or tracking events. This integration can be a powerful tool to personalize your marketing efforts and respond in real-time to your customers' interactions.

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
Vero	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Vero app.
ID	`id`	`string`	The unique identifier of the customer.
Email	`email`	`string`	The email address of the customer.
Channels	`channels`	`string[]`	A valid JSON array containing hashes of key/value pairs that represent the user's device token. Each hash should represent a single device token and include the fields type, address, and platform. Ex: `{"type":"push", "address":"UNIQUE_DEVICE_TOKEN", "platform":"android"}`

Action Authentication#

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

To retrieve your Auth Token,

Navigate to your Vero account and sign in
Go to “Configuration” > “Settings” > “Project Details” > "API Credentials" > Auth Token
