nocodb Overview#

The NoCodeB (NocoDB) API transforms your databases into a smart Excel sheet, providing a platform for managing your data with the ease of a spreadsheet interface. When combined with Pipedream's capabilities, this API allows you to automate data operations, sync with other databases or apps, and streamline workflows without writing complex code. Using Pipedream, you can trigger events based on changes in your NocoDB, process and manipulate the data, and connect to countless apps to extend functionality, such as sending notifications, updating CRMs, or generating reports.

    },
    getTimeField() {
