Qntrl Overview#

The Qntrl API offers a powerful way to manage and automate your organization's workflows and processes directly within Pipedream. With this API, you can create, update, retrieve, and manage cards, orchestrate workflows, and synchronize data across different systems. Harness the power of Pipedream to integrate Qntrl with various apps and services, enabling seamless data flow and enhanced productivity.

Trigger Code#

import qntrl from "../../qntrl.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "qntrl-new-job-comment",
  name: "New Comment Posted",
  description: "Emit new event when a comment is posted to a job. [See the documentation](https://core.qntrl.com/apidoc.html?type=reference&module=jobs&action=GetAllComments)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  sampleEmit,
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    jobId: {
      propDefinition: [
        qntrl,
        "jobId",
        (({ orgId }) => ({
          orgId,
        })),
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary({ comment }) {
      return `New Comment: "${comment.length > 40
        ? `${comment.slice(0, 40)}...`
        : comment}"`;
    },
    sortItems(a, b) {
      // eslint-disable-next-line max-len
      return new Date(Number(a.created_time)).valueOf() - new Date(Number(b.created_time)).valueOf();
    },
    getItems() {
      const {
        orgId, jobId,
      } = this;
      return this.app.listJobComments({
        orgId,
        jobId,
      });
    },
    getItemId(item) {
      return item.comment_id;
    },
  },
};

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
Qntrl	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Qntrl app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Organization ID	`orgId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Job ID	`jobId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Qntrl.user.READQntrl.org.READQntrl.job.ALLQntrl.jobcomment.READQntrl.jobcomment.CREATEQntrl.layout.READ
