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.

Trigger#

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "rentman-new-file-updated",
  name: "New File Uploaded/Updated",
  description: "Emit new event when a file is uploaded/updated. [See the documentation](https://api.rentman.net/)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getDateField() {
      return "modified";
    },
    getFunction() {
      return this.rentman.listItems.bind(null, "files");
    },
    getParams({ lastDate }) {
      return {
        "modified[gt]": lastDate,
        "sort": "-modified",
      };
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New file updated: ${item.displayname}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Rentman	`rentman`	`app`	This component uses the Rentman app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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 SQL Query",
  key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  description: "Execute a custom PostgreSQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",
  version: "3.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    postgresql,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description
    sql: {
      type: "sql",
      auth: {
        app: "postgresql",
      },
      label: "PostreSQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

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.

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 PostgreSQL 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.
