Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Record trigger
1. Connect your Knack account
2. Configure Object Key
3. Configure timer
Configure the End execution if a condition is met action
1. Connect your Filter account
2. Optional- Configure Reason for continuing
3. Optional- Configure Reason for ending
4. Configure Initial value
5. Select a Condition
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.

New Record on Knack

Description:Emit new event for each record created

Version:0.0.2

Key:knack-new-record

Knack Overview#

The Knack API allows for robust interactions with your Knack database, enabling automation of data entry, retrieval, updates, and deletion. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to create seamless workflows that react to events in real-time, sync data across platforms, and enhance your database management without manual intervention. Think less about CRUD operations and more about the magic of connecting your Knack data to the digital tools ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import knack from "../../knack.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "knack-new-record",
  name: "New Record",
  description: "Emit new event for each record created",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    knack,
    objectKey: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Object Key",
      description: "The key of the object which this record belongs to. See [the Knack API docs](https://docs.knack.com/docs/object-based-requests) for more information.",
    },
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const records = await this.knack.getAllRecords($, {
      objectKey: this.objectKey,
    }, {
      rows_per_page: 100,
    }, true);

    for (const record of records) {
      this.$emit(record, {
        id: record.id,
        summary: `New record ${record.id}`,
        ts: new Date(),
      });
    }
  },
};

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
Knack	`knack`	`app`	This component uses the Knack app.
Object Key	`objectKey`	`string`	The key of the object which this record belongs to. See the Knack API docs for more information.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Object-based requests require at least two headers: an application ID - to identify to our servers the app whose records you are requesting - and an API key (which is specific to each app) to authenticate the request. See docs.

Filter Overview#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Action Code#

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.
