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 Code#

const common = require("../common-webhook.js");

module.exports = {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-collaborator",
  name: "New Collaborator (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new events when collaborators are added to a repo",
  version: "0.0.4",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventNames() {
      return [
        "member",
      ];
    },
    getEventTypes() {
      return [
        "added",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(data) {
      const ts = Date.now();
      return {
        id: data.member.id,
        summary: `${data.sender.login} added to ${this.repoFullName}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
GitHub	`github`	`app`	This component uses the GitHub app.
Repo	`repoFullName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

repoadmin:orgadmin:public_keyadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsuserwrite:discussionwrite:packagesread:packagesadmin:repo_hook

Airtable 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 commonActions from "../../common/actions.mjs";
import airtable from "../../airtable.app.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  key: "airtable-create-single-record",
  name: "Create single record",
  description: "Adds a record to a table.",
  version: "1.0.3",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-label,pipedream/props-description
    tableId: {
      ...common.props.tableId,
      reloadProps: true,
    },
    typecast: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "typecast",
      ],
    },
  },
  async additionalProps() {
    return commonActions.additionalProps(this);
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    return commonActions.createRecord(this, $);
  },
};

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.
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.

Action Authentication#

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

Visit your account settings, copy your API key, and enter it below. If you only need to read data from Airtable, and not modify it, you can generate a read-only API key.
