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#

Contact Group Updated on Google Contacts

Description:Emit new event when a contact group is updated. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/contactGroups/list)

Google Contacts Overview#

The Google Contacts API allows you to integrate your contact data with custom applications, enabling you to sync, manage, and leverage your contact list for a variety of functions. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect the Google Contacts API to various other services, streamlining contact management tasks such as syncing contact details across platforms, automating outreach or follow-ups, and gathering insights from contact interactions.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "google_contacts-contact-group-updated",
  name: "Contact Group Updated",
  description: "Emit new event when a contact group is updated. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/contactGroups/list)",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getEvents({
      client, params = {}, pageSize = constants.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE,
    }) {
      const {
        contactGroups, nextPageToken,
      } = await this.googleContacts.listContactGroups(client, {
        pageSize,
        ...params,
      });
      return {
        events: contactGroups.filter((group) => group?.metadata),
        nextPageToken,
      };
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        groupFields: constants.GROUP_FIELDS.join(),
      };
    },
    getTs(group) {
      return Date.parse(group.metadata.updateTime);
    },
    generateMeta(group) {
      const ts = this.getTs(group);
      return {
        id: `${group.resourceName}${ts}`,
        summary: group.formattedName,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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 Contacts	`googleContacts`	`app`	This component uses the Google Contacts app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Google Contacts uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Contacts account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Contacts 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 Contacts API.

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

profileemailhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contactshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.other.readonly

About Google Contacts#

Google Contacts is a contact management service developed by Google. This service is backed by the Google People API.

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 Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  description: "Execute a custom PostgreSQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",
  version: "3.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    postgresql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {
        app: "postgresql",
      },
      label: "PostreSQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

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.
PostreSQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

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.
