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.

Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Custom Interval",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-custom-interval",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every N hours, minutes or seconds.",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
    },
  },
};

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
Schedule	`schedule`	`app`	This component uses the Schedule app.
Cron Schedule	`cron`	`$.interface.timer`	Enter a cron expression

Trigger Authentication#

The Schedule API does not require authentication.

Google Tasks Overview#

The Google Tasks API allows you to manage and manipulate a user's tasks and task lists on Google Tasks directly from Pipedream. With this API, you can create, read, update, and delete tasks, as well as manage the lists themselves. This opens up possibilities for automating task management, syncing tasks with other systems, and creating custom task-based workflows that can increase productivity and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Action Code#

import app from "../../google_tasks.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "google_tasks-create-task",
  name: "Create Task",
  description: "Creates a new task and adds it to the authenticated user's task lists. [See the docs here](https://developers.google.com/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasks/insert)",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    app,
    taskListId: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "taskListId",
      ],
    },
    title: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "title",
      ],
      description: "The title of the task.",
    },
    notes: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "notes",
      ],
    },
    completed: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "completed",
      ],
    },
    due: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "due",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const data = {
      title: this.title,
      status: this.completed
        ? "completed"
        : "needsAction",
      due: this.due,
    };
    if (this.notes) {
      data.notes = this.notes;
    }

    const res = await this.app.insertTask(
      $,
      this.taskListId,
      data,
    );
    $.export("$summary", "Task successfully created");
    return res;
  },
};

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
Google Tasks	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Google Tasks app.
Task List	`taskListId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Title	`title`	`string`	The title of the task.
Notes	`notes`	`string`	The description of the task.
Completed	`completed`	`boolean`	Mark as `true` if your task is already completed.
Due	`due`	`string`	Due date of the task (as a RFC 3339 timestamp). Optional. The due date only records date information; the time portion of the timestamp is discarded when setting the due date. It isn't possible to read or write the time that a task is due via the API.

Action Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks
