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.

New Row Created on Coda

Coda Overview#

The Coda API enables you to interact with your Coda docs for both data retrieval and manipulation. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate document updates, synchronize data across different platforms, orchestrate complex workflows, and react to changes in real-time. Coda’s tables can act as dynamic databases that interconnect with various services, allowing you to streamline operations that depend on the timely and accurate exchange of information.

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
Coda	`coda`	`app`	This component uses the Coda app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Doc ID	`docId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include Updated Rows	`includeUpdates`	`boolean`	Emit events for updates on existing rows?

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Coda#

Coda is familiar like a doc and engaging like an app, so your team can jump in quickly, collaborate effectively, and make decisions that stick.

Action#

Merge RSS Feeds on RSS

Description:Retrieve multiple RSS feeds and return a merged array of items sorted by date [See documentation](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification)

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Action Code#

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineAction } from "@pipedream/types";
export default defineAction({
    name: "Merge RSS Feeds",
    description: "Retrieve multiple RSS feeds and return a merged array of items sorted by date [See documentation](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification)",
    key: "rss-merge-rss-feeds",
    version: "1.2.7",
    type: "action",
    props: {
        rss,
        urls: {
            propDefinition: [
                rss,
                "urls",
            ],
        },
    },
    async run({ $ }) {
        const items = [];
        for (const url of this.urls) {
            const feedItems = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            items.push(...feedItems);
        }
        $.export("$summary", "Successfully merged feeds");
        return this.rss.sortItemsForActions(items);
    },
});
