GitLab Overview#

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { eventTypes } from "../common/hook-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "gitlab-new-issue",
  name: "New Issue (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when an issue is created in a project",
  version: "0.1.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async activate() {
      await this.activateHook(eventTypes.ISSUES_EVENTS);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    isNewIssue(issue) {
      const { previous } = issue.changes.updated_at;
      return previous === undefined || previous === null;
    },
    generateMeta({
      user, issue,
    }) {
      const {
        name,
        username,
      } = user;
      const {
        id,
        iid,
        created_at: createdAt,
        title,
      } = issue;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New issue by ${name} (${username}): #${iid} ${title}`,
        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
    async emitEvent(event) {
      // Gitlab doesn't offer a specific hook for "new issue" events,
      // but such event can be deduced from the payload of "issues" events.
      if (this.isNewIssue(event)) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta({
          user: event.user,
          issue: event.object_attributes,
        });
        this.$emit(event, meta);
      }
    },
  },
};

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
GitLab	`gitlab`	`app`	This component uses the GitLab 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.
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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;
  },
};

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
