Aero Workflow Overview#

You can use the Aero Workflow API to build from simpleETL processes to
multi-step workflows that encompass a variety of microservices. The following
are examples of what you can build using the Aero Workflow API:

A process that ingests data from a remote data source, transforms it, and
then stores it in a database.
A workflow that aggregates data from multiple data sources, runs some
analysis on it, and then produces a report.
A process that monitors a data source for new data, ingests it, and then
sends it to a message queue for processing by other elements of your system.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "aero_workflow-new-company-created",
  name: "New Company Created Event",
  description: "Emit new events when a new company is created. [See the docs](https://api.aeroworkflow.com/swagger/index.html)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFnConfig() {
      return {
        resourceFn: this.app.getCompanies,
        resourceKey: "companies",
      };
    },
    getComparable(item) {
      return item.id;
    },
    getMeta(item) {
      return {
        id: item.id,
        summary: `New company was created: ${item.name}(ID: ${item.id})`,
        ts: new Date().getTime(),
      };
    },
    async getItem(item) {
      return this.app.getCompany({
        companyId: item.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
Aero Workflow	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Aero Workflow app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To get your API Key and Account Number, navigate to Account Settings > Account Profile.

If you've already created an API Key it will be listed on this screen.
If there is no API Key listed, click the Generate new API Key button.
The Account Number (also sometimes called "Account ID") is listed below the API Key
