Google Tasks Overview#

The Google Tasks API allows you to manage and manipulate a user's tasks and task lists on Google Tasks directly from Pipedream. With this API, you can create, read, update, and delete tasks, as well as manage the lists themselves. This opens up possibilities for automating task management, syncing tasks with other systems, and creating custom task-based workflows that can increase productivity and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Trigger Code#

import newTaskAdded from "../new-task-added/new-task-added.mjs";

export default {
  ...newTaskAdded,
  key: "google_tasks-new-task-updated",
  name: "New Task Updated",
  description: "Emit new event for each task added or updated to Google Tasks. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasks/list)",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...newTaskAdded.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...newTaskAdded.methods,
    generateMeta(event) {
      return {
        id: `${event.id}-${event.updated}`,
        summary: `Task update: ${event.title}`,
        ts: new Date(event.updated),
      };
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        maxResults: this._maxQueryResults(),
        updatedMin: this._getLastUpdate(),
        showCompleted: true,
        showDeleted: true,
        showHidden: true,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Google Tasks	`googleTasks`	`app`	This component uses the Google Tasks app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Task List	`taskListId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
