Front Overview#

The Front API empowers you to automate the handling of your team's email inbox, collaborate on conversations, and streamline communication workflows. By harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can craft custom integrations that trigger actions in Front in response to events, synchronize data across platforms, and augment your team's productivity with automated tasks. This can include creating or updating conversations and contacts, managing tags, or firing off custom automation rules within Front.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "frontapp-new-conversation-tag",
  name: "New Conversation Tag",
  description: "Emit new event when a conversation is tagged with a specific tag or any tag. [See the documentation](https://dev.frontapp.com/reference/events)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    tagIds: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.frontapp,
        "tagIds",
      ],
      withLabel: true,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getFunction() {
      return this.frontapp.listEvents;
    },
    _getParams(lastTs) {
      return {
        "q[after]": lastTs,
        "q[types]": [
          "tag",
        ],
      };
    },
    _getEmit(item) {
      const tagIdsArray = this.tagIds.map((tag) => tag.value);
      if (item.type === "tag" && tagIdsArray.includes(item.target?.data?.id)) {
        return {
          id: item.id,
          summary: `New conversation with id: "${item.id}" was tagged as '${item.target?.data?.name}'!`,
          ts: Date.parse(item.created_at),
        };
      }
    },
  },
  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
Front	`frontapp`	`app`	This component uses the Front app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Tag IDs	`tagIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

          tableId: tableId.value,

    const recordId = this.recordId?.value ?? this.recordId;

    this.airtable.validateRecordID(recordId);
    let response;
    try {
      response = await this.airtable.deleteRecord({
        baseId,
        tableId,
