    getSummary(item) {
      return `New Schedule: ${item.id}`;
    },

  sampleEmit,
};

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

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

hubstaff:readhubstaff:write
