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 Submission on PaperForm

Description:Emit new event when a new submission is made on the specified form in Paperform. [See the documentation](https://paperform.readme.io/reference/listformsubmissions)

PaperForm Overview#

The PaperForm API offers a robust means to interact programmatically with PaperForm's features, allowing you to automate form submissions, retrieve form data, and integrate with various other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can construct workflows that respond to events from PaperForm forms—like new submissions—by triggering actions in other apps, or perform operations on the submissions themselves.

Trigger Code#

import paperform from "../../paperform.app.mjs";

        this.$emit(submission, meta);
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    await this.processEvent();
  },
};

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
PaperForm	`paperform`	`app`	This component uses the PaperForm app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Paperform and sign in
Go to “Account Settings” > “Developer”

AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

Action Code#

import common from "../../common/common-dynamodb.mjs";
import { toSingleLineString } from "../../common/utils.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,

Label	Prop	Type	Description
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Statement	`statement`	`string`	The PartiQL statement representing the operation to run

Action Authentication#

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.

As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.

Enter your access and secret key below.
