LightSpeed VT Overview#

LightSpeed VT is a learning management system (LMS) that provides a platform for delivering interactive training and e-learning experiences. Through the LightSpeed VT API, you can automate access to course catalogs, manage users, track progress and performance, and integrate this data with other systems. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create workflows that respond to events in real-time, synchronize training data with other platforms, and enhance the user learning experience with personalized automations.

Trigger Code#

import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";
import lightspeedVt from "../../lightspeed_vt.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "lightspeed_vt-new-user-added",
  name: "New User Added",
  description: "Emit new event every time there is a new user in the system",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    lightspeedVt,
    db: "$.service.db",
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  methods: {
    _getLastUserId() {
      return this.db.get("lastUserId") || 0;
    },
    _setLastUserId(userId) {
      this.db.set("lastUserId", userId);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const users = await this.lightspeedVt.listUsers();
    users.sort((a, b) => a.userId - b.userId);
    const lastUserId = this._getLastUserId();

    for (const user of users) {
      if (user.userId > lastUserId) {
        this.$emit(user, {
          id: user.userId,
          summary: `New user: ${user.username}`,
          ts: Date.now(),
        });
        this._setLastUserId(user.userId);
      }
    }
  },
};

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
LightSpeed VT	`lightspeedVt`	`app`	This component uses the LightSpeed VT app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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.
