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 Job Completed (Instant) on ServiceM8

Description:Emit new event when a job completes. By creating this trigger, any other `Job` triggers will stop working as ServiceM8 will replace any previous ones.

Version:0.0.2

ServiceM8 Overview#

The ServiceM8 API allows businesses to streamline their field service management by automating tasks and integrating with other tools. Through Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within ServiceM8 or sync data with other apps. Automate job scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and more by reacting to events in real-time. Enhance productivity by connecting ServiceM8 to CRMs, accounting software, or custom databases, ensuring consistent and updated information across platforms.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Job Completed (Instant)",
  key: "servicem8-job-completed",
  description: "Emit new event when a job completes. By creating this trigger, any other `Job` triggers will stop working as ServiceM8 will replace any previous ones.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async processEvent(body) {
      const {
        uuid, time,
      } = body.entry[0];

      const { status } = await this.servicem8.getJob(uuid);

      if (status === "Completed") {
        const meta = this.getMeta({
          uuid,
          time,
        });
        this.$emit(body, meta);
      }
    },
    getMeta({
      uuid, time,
    }) {
      const eventTime = time || new Date().getTime();

      return {
        id: uuid + time,
        summary: `New job completed with uuid: ${uuid}`,
        ts: eventTime,
      };
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        object: "Job",
        fields: "status",
      };
    },
  },
};

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
ServiceM8	`servicem8`	`app`	This component uses the ServiceM8 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.

Trigger Authentication#

ServiceM8 uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your ServiceM8 account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into ServiceM8 and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any ServiceM8 API.

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

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";

export default {
  name: "Insert Row",
  key: "postgresql-insert-row",
  description: "Adds a new row. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)",
  version: "2.0.6",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    postgresql,
    schema: {
      propDefinition: [
        postgresql,
        "schema",
      ],
    },
    table: {
      propDefinition: [
        postgresql,
        "table",
        (c) => ({
          schema: c.schema,
        }),
      ],
    },
    rowValues: {
      propDefinition: [
        postgresql,
        "rowValues",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      schema,
      table,
      rowValues,
    } = this;
    const columns = Object.keys(rowValues);
    const values = Object.values(rowValues);
    try {
      const res = await this.postgresql.insertRow(
        schema,
        table,
        columns,
        values,
      );
      $.export("$summary", "New row inserted");
      return res;
    } catch (error) {
      let errorMsg = "New row not inserted due to an error. ";
      errorMsg += `${error}`.includes("SSL verification failed")
        ? "This could be because SSL verification failed. To resolve this, reconnect your account and set SSL Verification Mode: Skip Verification, and try again."
        : `${error}`;
      throw new Error(errorMsg);
    }
  },
};

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.
