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
Social Intents	`social_intents`	`app`	This component uses the Social Intents app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

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 Custom Query",
  key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  description: "Executes a custom query you provide. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)",
  version: "2.0.5",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    postgresql,
    query: {
      propDefinition: [
        postgresql,
        "query",
      ],
    },
    values: {
      propDefinition: [
        postgresql,
        "values",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      query,
      values = [],
    } = this;

    if (!Array.isArray(values)) {
      throw new Error("No valid values provided. The values property must be an array.");
    }

    const numberOfValues = query?.match(/\$/g)?.length || 0;
    if (values.length !== numberOfValues) {
      throw new Error("The number of values provided does not match the number of values in the query.");
    }

    try {
      const res = await this.postgresql.executeQuery({
        text: query,
        values,
      });
      $.export("$summary", "Successfully executed query");
      return res;
    } catch (error) {
      let errorMsg = "Query not executed due to an error. ";
      errorMsg += `${error}`.includes("SSL verification failed")
        ? "This could be because SSL verification failed. To resolve this, reconnect your account and set SSL Verification Mode: Skip Verification, and try again."
        : `${error}`;
      throw new Error(errorMsg);
    }
  },
};

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.
SQL Query	`query`	`string`	Your custom SQL Query using `$1`, `$2`... to represent values (eg. `INSERT INTO users(name, email) VALUES($1, $2)`
Values	`values`	`string[]`	List of values represented in your SQL Query above

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.

Before you connect to your PostgreSQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 5432), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

SSL Setup

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