Ticket Tailor Overview#

The Ticket Tailor API lets you tap into your event management toolkit, giving you the power to automate tasks like syncing attendee lists, sending custom emails after ticket purchase, and monitoring real-time event metrics. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can build workflows that respond to events in Ticket Tailor, such as new bookings, and connect these triggers to countless other apps to streamline your event management process and enhance attendee experience.

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
Ticket Tailor	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Ticket Tailor app.
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.
Shared Secret	`sharedSecret`	`string`	The shared secret you configured in the webhook. We highly recommend you to use a secret key to prevent unauthorized access to your webhook. You can find your signing secret here

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Ticket Tailor account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “Manage” > “API”

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Action Code#

import postgresql from "../../postgresql.app.mjs";

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Values	`rowValues`	`object`	Enter the column names and respective values as key/value pairs, or with structured mode off as `{{{columnName:"columnValue"}}}`

Action Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
