Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Row Added (Instant) on Google Sheets

Description:Emit new events each time a row or rows are added to the bottom of a spreadsheet. To use this source with a spreadsheet in a [Shared Drive](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9310351), use the **New Row Added (Shared Drive, Instant)** source instead.

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Trigger Code#

import httpBase from "../common/http-based/sheet.mjs";
import newRowAdded from "../common/new-row-added.mjs";

export default {
  ...httpBase,
  ...newRowAdded,
  key: "google_sheets-new-row-added",
  name: "New Row Added (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new events each time a row or rows are added to the bottom of a spreadsheet. To use this source with a spreadsheet in a [Shared Drive](https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9310351), use the **New Row Added (Shared Drive, Instant)** source instead.",
  version: "0.1.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...httpBase.props,
    ...newRowAdded.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...httpBase.methods,
    ...newRowAdded.methods,
  },
};

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
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasionally renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Spreadsheet	`sheetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Worksheet(s)	`worksheetIDs`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Value	`value`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your PostgreSQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 5432), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification (default), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
