Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Alert Received trigger
1. Connect your VisualPing account
2. Configure timer
3. Select a Workspace ID
4. Select a Job ID
Configure the Execute SQL Query action
1. Connect your MySQL account

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.

VisualPing Overview#

VisualPing is a tool that lets you monitor web pages for changes. Using its API with Pipedream, you can automate reactions to those changes. For instance, you can set up workflows that notify you or your team when specific parts of a web page update, or use changes to trigger downstream actions in other apps. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to connect VisualPing with a vast array of apps to create custom, automated workflows without writing a lot of code.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "New Alert Received",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "visualping-new-alert-received",
  description: "Emit new event when a change alert is sent.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    visualping,
    db: "$.service.db",
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
    workspaceId: {
      propDefinition: [
        visualping,
        "workspaceId",
      ],
    },
    jobId: {
      propDefinition: [
        visualping,
        "jobId",
        (c) => ({
          workspaceId: c.workspaceId,
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.process_id,
        summary: `New alert sent with ID ${data.process_id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.process_created),
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const { history: events } = await this.visualping.getJob({
      workspaceId: this.workspaceId,
      jobId: this.jobId,
    });

    events.reverse().filter((event) => event.notification_send)
      .forEach(this.emitEvent);
  },
};

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
VisualPing	`visualping`	`app`	This component uses the VisualPing app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Workspace ID	`workspaceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Job ID	`jobId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Action#

Execute SQL Query on MySQL

Description:Execute a custom MySQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "mysql-execute-raw-query",
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  description: "Execute a custom MySQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.1",
  props: {
    mysql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {
        app: "mysql",
      },
      label: "SQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.mysql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.mysql.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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
SQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

Action Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL 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 MySQL 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.
