Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "New or Modified Field",
  description: "Emit new event for each new or modified field in a table",
  key: "airtable_oauth-new-or-modified-field",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    tableId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.airtable,
        "tableId",
        ({ baseId }) => ({
          baseId,
        }),
      ],
      description: "The table ID to watch for changes.",
    },
  },
  methods: {
    _getPrevFields() {
      return this.db.get("fieldIds") || {};
    },
    _setPrevFields(fieldIds) {
      this.db.set("fieldIds", fieldIds);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const prevFields = this._getPrevFields();

    const { tables } = await this.airtable.listTables({
      baseId: this.baseId,
    });
    const { fields } = tables.find(({ id }) => id === this.tableId);

    for (const field of fields) {
      if (prevFields[field.id] && prevFields[field.id] === JSON.stringify(field)) {
        continue;
      }
      const summary = prevFields[field.id]
        ? `${field.name} Updated`
        : `${field.name} Created`;
      prevFields[field.id] = JSON.stringify(field);

      this.$emit(field, {
        id: field.id,
        summary,
        ts: Date.now(),
      });
    }

    this._setPrevFields(prevFields);
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Airtable uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Airtable account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Airtable and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Airtable API.

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

Pushcut Overview#

The Pushcut API enables the automation of iOS notifications with custom actions, triggering events based on various conditions. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create intricate workflows, combining Pushcut notifications with a multitude of services to act based on data from APIs, schedules, or other apps. Think of Pushcut as a bridge between the real world and your digital tasks, letting you know when to act and offering shortcuts to execute specific automations directly from your iOS devices.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "pushcut-execute-homekit-scene",
  name: "Execute Homekit Scene",
  description: "Schedules an Automation Server action request for a homekit scene. [See the documentation](https://www.pushcut.io/webapi)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    pushcut,
    homekit: {
      propDefinition: [
        pushcut,
        "homekitScene",
      ],
    },
    timeout: {
      propDefinition: [
        pushcut,
        "timeout",
      ],
    },
    delay: {
      propDefinition: [
        pushcut,
        "delay",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.pushcut.executeAction({
      data: {
        homekit: this.homekit,
        timeout: this.timeout,
        delay: this.delay,
      },
      $,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully executed homekit ${this.homekit}.`);

    return response;
  },
};

To generate your API Key,

Navigate to your Pushcut account and sign in
Go to “Account”
Click the “Add API Key” button
