Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Task (Instant) trigger
1. Connect your actiTIME account
Configure the Execute SQL Query action
1. Connect your PostgreSQL account
2. Configure PostreSQL Query
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
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.

Trigger#

New Task (Instant) on actiTIME

Description:Emit new event when a new task is created. [See the documentation](https://www.actitime.com/api-documentation/rest-hooks).

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "actitime-new-task-instant",
  name: "New Task (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new task is created. [See the documentation](https://www.actitime.com/api-documentation/rest-hooks).",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventName() {
      return events.TASK_CREATE;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New Task: ${resource.name}`,
        ts: resource.created,
      };
    },
  },
  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
actiTIME	`app`	`app`	This component uses the actiTIME app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

actiTIME requires their users enter their actiTIME email and password in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to actiTIME’s documentation.

Pipedream recommends using a strong and unique password for your actiTIME account.

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;
  },
};

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
PostreSQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

Action Authentication#

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.
