Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a PostgreSQL trigger and Pinecone action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Row trigger
1. Connect your PostgreSQL account
2. Configure Polling Interval
3. Select a Schema
4. Select a Table
5. Optional- Select a Column
Configure the Delete Vectors action
1. Connect your Pinecone account
2. Select a Index Name
3. Optional- Configure Prefix
4. Optional- Configure Namespace
5. Configure Vector IDs
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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 on PostgreSQL

Description:Emit new event when a new row is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)

Version:3.0.6

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.

Trigger Code#

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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.

About PostgreSQL#

PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Action#

Delete Vectors on Pinecone

Description:Deletes one or more vectors by ID, from a single namespace. [See the documentation](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/data-plane/delete).

Pinecone Overview#

The Pinecone API enables you to work with vector databases, which are essential for building and scaling applications with AI features like recommendation systems, image recognition, and natural language processing. On Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows integrating Pinecone with other apps, automate data ingestion, query vector databases in response to events, and orchestrate complex data processing pipelines that leverage Pinecone's similarity search.
