New Field in Document on MongoDB

MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,

      const documents = await this.mongodb.listDocuments(collection);
      const doc = documents.find((obj) => {
        return obj._id == this.document;
      });
      const keys = Object.keys(doc);

        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
MongoDB	`mongodb`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Document	`document`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.

About MongoDB#

MongoDB is an open source NoSQL database management program.

FTrack Overview#

The FTrack API is a powerhouse for creative project management, enabling users to automate and integrate a wide array of tasks related to project tracking, asset management, and team collaboration. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within FTrack or connect it with other apps to streamline your creative operations. It's a toolset for improving efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, syncing data across applications, and orchestrating complex project management activities.

Action Code#

import app from "../../ftrack.app.mjs";
import expressions from "../../common/expressions/task.mjs";

export default {
  key: "ftrack-get-task-info",
  name: "Get Task Info",
  description: "Get information about a task. [See the documentation](https://help.ftrack.com/en/articles/1040498-operations#query)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.1",
  props: {
    app,
    taskId: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "taskId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    getTaskInfo({
      taskId, ...args
    } = {}) {
      return this.app.query({
        data: {
          expression: expressions.getTaskInfo(taskId),
        },
        ...args,
      });
    },
  },
  async run({ $: step }) {
    const {
      getTaskInfo,
      taskId,
    } = this;

    const [
      response,
    ] = await getTaskInfo({
      step,
      taskId,
    });

    if (!response.data.length) {
      step.export("$summary", "No task found.");
    } else {
      step.export("$summary", `Successfully retrieved task with ID \`${response.data[0].id}\`.`);
    }

    return response.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
FTrack	`app`	`app`	This component uses the FTrack app.

Action Authentication#

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

To connect FTrack, you will need an FTrack Studio account.

To retrieve your Username and API Key,

Navigate to your ftrack account and sign in
Click the dropdown on the top right

For Username:

Go to “My Account” > “Account”

There are two types of API Keys, Personal and Global.

For Personal API Key:

Go to “My Account” > “Security Settings”

For Global API Key:

Go to “System Settings” > “Security” > “API Keys”

Your subdomain is 1234 if your ftrack URL is https://1234.ftrackapp.com
