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.

Hootsuite Overview#

The Hootsuite API offers a variety of endpoints to automate social media management tasks such as scheduling posts, managing social content, and analyzing social media performance. By leveraging Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows to interact with the Hootsuite API; you can schedule posts at optimal times, aggregate metrics for reporting, or even respond to social media activity in real-time. Pipedream's platform allows the seamless integration of the Hootsuite API with hundreds of other apps to streamline social media workflows, monitor brand presence, and engage with audiences effectively.

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
Hootsuite	`hootsuite`	`app`	This component uses the Hootsuite app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
States	`states`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Scheduled", "value": "SCHEDULED" }{ "label": "Submitted", "value": "SUBMITTED" }{ "label": "Pending Approval", "value": "PENDING_APPROVAL" }{ "label": "Sent", "value": "SENT" }{ "label": "Send Failed Permanently", "value": "SEND_FAILED_PERMANENTLY" }{ "label": "Rejected", "value": "REJECTED" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.",

    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {

      },
      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#

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
