TimeCamp Overview#

TimeCamp's API unlocks the potential to automate and integrate time tracking data with a myriad of services and platforms. By leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can create custom workflows that respond to events in TimeCamp, such as new time entries, projects, or tasks. These workflows can then trigger actions in other apps, or even process and analyze time tracking data to provide insights and streamline operations.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "New Time Entry",

    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },

    },
    _setLastSyncDate(lastSyncDate) {

    },
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.id,
        summary: `New time entry with id ${data.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.add_date),
      });
    },
    async emitTimeEntries() {
      const lastSyncDate = this._getLastSyncDate();

      const timeEntries = await this.timecamp.getTimeEntries({
        params: {
          from: lastSyncDate,
          to: dayjs().format("YYYY-MM-DD"),
        },
      });

      timeEntries.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const lastSyncDate = dayjs().subtract(1, "month")
        .format("YYYY-MM-DD");

      this._setLastSyncDate(lastSyncDate);

      await this.emitTimeEntries();
    },
  },
  async run() {
    await this.emitTimeEntries();

    const lastSyncDate = dayjs().format("YYYY-MM-DD");

    this._setLastSyncDate(lastSyncDate);

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
