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.

New Row on Snowflake

Description:Emit new event when a row is added to a table

Version:0.1.11

Key:snowflake-new-row

Snowflake Overview#

Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.

Getting Started

1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake

Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

2. Enter those details in Pipedream

Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.

You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.

3. Build your first workflow

Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common-table-scan.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  type: "source",
  key: "snowflake-new-row",
  name: "New Row",
  description: "Emit new event when a row is added to a table",
  version: "0.1.11",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getStatement(lastResultId) {
      const sqlText = `
        SELECT *
        FROM IDENTIFIER(:1)
        WHERE ${this.uniqueKey} > :2
        ORDER BY ${this.uniqueKey} ASC
      `;
      const binds = [
        this.tableName,
        lastResultId,
      ];
      return {
        sqlText,
        binds,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Snowflake	`snowflake`	`app`	This component uses the Snowflake app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Watch for changes on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table Name	`tableName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Unique Key	`uniqueKey`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit individual events	`emitIndividualEvents`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, triggering workflows on each record in the result set. Set to `false` to emit records in batch (advanced)

Trigger Authentication#

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

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

Enter the username, password, and other details below. The account field expects your Snowflake account identifier. You may need to include the full identifier and region as a part of this string, e.g. au12345.us-east-1. Please consult your instance and Snowflake docs for more detail.

Action#

Create/Update a Share Link on Dropbox

Description:Creates or updates a public share link to the file or folder (It allows to share the file or folder with anyone). [See docs here](https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings__anchor)

Version:0.0.8

Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Action Authentication#

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

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