Motion Overview#

The Motion API empowers users to streamline project management and productivity tasks. Within Pipedream's environment, you can leverage this API to automate actions based on project updates, task completions, and team collaborations. It's a toolset that sails smoothly with Pipedream's knack for creating swift integrations and workflows, making it possible to connect Motion with other apps to optimize project tracking, notifications, and data synchronization.

Microsoft Outlook Calendar Overview#

The Microsoft Outlook Calendar API provides programmatic access to a user's calendar events, allowing for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of events within Outlook calendars. With Pipedream, you can integrate these calendar operations into workflows that automate tasks involving scheduling, event management, and coordination with other services. Whether it's triggering actions when new events are created, syncing calendar events with other scheduling tools, or managing attendees, Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to build custom automations with minimal overhead.

Action Code#

import microsoftOutlook from "../../microsoft_outlook_calendar.app.mjs";

export default {
  type: "action",
  key: "microsoft_outlook_calendar-delete-calendar-event",
  version: "0.0.1",
  name: "Delete Calendar Event",
  description: "Delete an event in the user's default calendar. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/event-delete?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http)",
  props: {
    microsoftOutlook,
    eventId: {
      propDefinition: [
        microsoftOutlook,
        "eventId",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.microsoftOutlook.deleteCalendarEvent({
      $,
      eventId: this.eventId,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully deleted calendar event with ID ${this.eventId}`);

    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

Action Authentication#

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

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