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.

Trigger#

New Page in Database on Notion

Description:Emit new event when a page in a database is created

Version:0.0.10

Key:notion-new-page

View on GitHub

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import notion from "../../notion.app.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";
import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import constants from "../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "notion-new-page",

  version: "0.0.10",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...base.props,
    databaseId: {
      propDefinition: [
        notion,
        "databaseId",
      ],
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async deploy() {
      await this.processEvents(25);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    async processEvents(max) {
      const pages = [];
      const lastCreatedTimestamp = this.getLastCreatedTimestamp();
      const lastCreatedTimestampDate = new Date(lastCreatedTimestamp);
      const lastCreatedTimestampISO = lastCreatedTimestampDate.toISOString();

      // Add a filter so that we only receive pages that have been created since the saved time.
      const params = {
        ...this.lastCreatedSortParam(),
        filter: {
          timestamp: "created_time",
          created_time: {
            after: lastCreatedTimestampISO,

        },

      // Get pages in created order descending until the first page edited after
      // lastCreatedTimestamp, then reverse list of pages and emit
      const pagesStream = this.notion.getPages(this.databaseId, params);

      for await (const page of pagesStream) {
        if (!this.isResultNew(page.created_time, lastCreatedTimestamp)
          || (max && pages.length >= max)) {
          break;
        }
        pages.push(page);
      }

      pages.reverse().forEach((page) => {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(
          page,
          constants.types.PAGE,
          constants.timestamps.CREATED_TIME,
          constants.summaries.PAGE_ADDED,
        );
        this.$emit(page, meta);
      });

      const lastCreatedTime = pages[pages.length - 1]?.created_time;
      if (lastCreatedTime) {
        this.setLastCreatedTimestamp(Date.parse(lastCreatedTime));
      }
    },
  },
  async run() {
    await this.processEvents(100);
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Database ID	`databaseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Action#

Create Record on Knack

Description:Create a Record for a Knack object [(See docs here)](https://docs.knack.com/docs/object-based-post)

Version:0.0.1

Key:knack-create-record

View on GitHub

Knack Overview#

The Knack API allows for robust interactions with your Knack database, enabling automation of data entry, retrieval, updates, and deletion. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to create seamless workflows that react to events in real-time, sync data across platforms, and enhance your database management without manual intervention. Think less about CRUD operations and more about the magic of connecting your Knack data to the digital tools ecosystem.

Action Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { recordData } from "../common/props.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "knack-create-record",
  name: "Create Record",
  description:
    "Create a Record for a Knack object [(See docs here)](https://docs.knack.com/docs/object-based-post)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...base.props,
    recordData,
  },
  methods: {
    getBaseParams() {
      return {
        objectKey: this.objectKey,
        data: this.recordData,
      };
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.knack.createRecord($, this.getBaseParams());

    $.export("$summary", "Created record successfully");

    return response;
  },
};

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
Knack	`knack`	`app`	This component uses the Knack app.
Object Key	`objectKey`	`string`	The key of the object which this record belongs to. See the Knack API docs for more information.
Record Data	`recordData`	`object`	The record fields to be updated and their new values. See the Knack API docs for more information.

Action Authentication#

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

Object-based requests require at least two headers: an application ID - to identify to our servers the app whose records you are requesting - and an API key (which is specific to each app) to authenticate the request. See docs.
