Zoho Survey Overview#

The Zoho Survey API enables you to integrate your surveys and their data with other applications, automating your workflows and allowing you to manage surveys and responses efficiently. Within Pipedream, you can harness this API to trigger workflows, process survey responses, create or update surveys, and sync your survey data with other services. This streamlined interaction facilitates real-time data collection and analysis, leading to informed decision-making and proactive engagement with your audience.

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
Zoho Survey	`zohoSurvey`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Survey 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.
Portal	`portalId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Department	`groupId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Survey	`surveyId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Trigger Name	`triggerName`	`string`	Trigger name to be displayed within Zoho Survey (Maximum 255 characters)

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

ZohoSurvey.user.READZohoSurvey.portal.READZohoSurvey.survey.READZohoSurvey.webhook.CREATEZohoSurvey.webhook.DELETEZohoSurvey.webhook.READZohoSurvey.surveybuilder.READZohoSurvey.surveybuilder.CREATE

Insert Row on PostgreSQL

Description:Adds a new row. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)

Version:2.0.6

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";

        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.
