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 Comment (Instant) on Google Sheets

Description:Emit new event each time a comment is added to a spreadsheet.

Version:0.0.3

Key:google_sheets-new-comment

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Trigger Code#

import httpBase from "../common/http-based/sheet.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...httpBase,
  key: "google_sheets-new-comment",
  name: "New Comment (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time a comment is added to a spreadsheet.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...httpBase.methods,
    _getLastTs() {
      return this.db.get("lastTs");
    },
    _setLastTs(lastTs) {
      this.db.set("lastTs", lastTs);
    },
    generateMeta(comment) {
      return {
        id: comment.id,
        summary: `New Comment: ${comment.content}`,
        ts: Date.parse(comment.createdTime),
      };
    },
    takeSheetSnapshot() {},
    getSheetId() {
      return this.sheetID.toString();
    },
    async processSpreadsheet() {
      const comments = [];
      const lastTs = this._getLastTs();
      const results = this.googleSheets.listComments(this.sheetID, lastTs);
      for await (const comment of results) {
        comments.push(comment);
      }
      if (!comments.length) {
        return;
      }
      this._setLastTs(comments[0].createdTime);
      comments.reverse().forEach((comment) => {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(comment);
        this.$emit(comment, meta);
      });
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    if (event.timestamp) {
      // Component was invoked by timer
      return this.renewSubscription();
    }

    if (!this.isEventRelevant(event)) {
      console.log("Sync notification, exiting early");
      return;
    }

    await this.processSpreadsheet();
  },
  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
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets 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.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasionally renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Spreadsheet	`sheetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets 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 Sheets API.

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

Big Data Cloud Overview#

The Big Data Cloud API provides a suite of RESTful APIs for IP geolocation and various other data services that can enrich your applications with valuable insights. On Pipedream, you can integrate these APIs into serverless workflows to automate data collection, analysis, and decision-making processes. Whether you're looking to enhance user experience with location-based content, validate user data, or perform any number of data-enrichment tasks, Big Data Cloud can be a go-to resource within your Pipedream workflows.
