Fauna Overview#

Fauna API offers a powerful serverless database solution for modern applications. Its unique capabilities allow for highly scalable, secure, and flexible data management. With Pipedream, you can harness the power of Fauna to create intricate serverless workflows that react to various triggers, manage data efficiently, and connect seamlessly with other services and APIs to automate complex tasks.

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
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Fauna	`fauna`	`app`	This component uses the Fauna app.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit changes as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all events are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each event in Fauna as its own event in Pipedream

Trigger Authentication#

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

Create a key in the Security section of your FaunaDB dashboard, then enter the Secret below.
