Shopify Overview#

The Shopify Admin REST & GraphQL API unleashes a myriad of possibilities to automate and enhance online store operations. It provides programmatic access to Shopify functionalities, allowing users to manage products, customers, orders, and more. Leveraging the Shopify Admin API within Pipedream, developers can create custom workflows that automate repetitive tasks, sync data across platforms, and respond dynamically to events in Shopify.

This integration can be used as a custom app on your store, or for automating actions on behalf of merchants through your Shopify app.

Trigger Code#

import shopify from "../../shopify_developer_app.app.mjs";
import common from "../../../shopify/sources/new-article/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "shopify_developer_app-new-article",
  name: "New Article",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event for each new article in a blog.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    shopify,
    ...common.props,
  },
};

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
Shopify	`shopify`	`app`	This component uses the Shopify app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Blogs	`blogIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Get your Access Token

Create a custom app in Shopify to obtain your Admin API access token. See our detailed instructions here.

Enter your Admin API access token below, and save it in a secure location (we recommend using a password manager such as 1Password)

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.",

    mysql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    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;
  },
};

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.
