Harvest Overview#

Harvest is a time tracking and invoicing tool that can streamline the way freelancers and businesses record time for various projects and tasks. By leveraging the Harvest API on Pipedream, you can automate complex workflows that integrate time tracking data with other business tools. Generate reports, sync project data, and manage invoices with minimal manual intervention. Pipedream's serverless platform lets you create these automations using simple, code-driven components, enabling a seamless connection between Harvest and a multitude of other apps.

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
Harvest	`harvest`	`app`	This component uses the Harvest app.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll Harvest API on this schedule
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

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