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 Issue (Instant) on GitLab
Description:Emit new event when an issue is created in a project
Version:0.1.1
Key:gitlab-new-issue

GitLab Overview

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Trigger Code

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { eventTypes } from "../common/hook-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "gitlab-new-issue",
  name: "New Issue (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when an issue is created in a project",
  version: "0.1.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async activate() {
      await this.activateHook(eventTypes.ISSUES_EVENTS);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    isNewIssue(issue) {
      const { previous } = issue.changes.updated_at;
      return previous === undefined || previous === null;
    },
    generateMeta({
      user, issue,
    }) {
      const {
        name,
        username,
      } = user;
      const {
        id,
        iid,
        created_at: createdAt,
        title,
      } = issue;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New issue by ${name} (${username}): #${iid} ${title}`,
        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
    async emitEvent(event) {
      // Gitlab doesn't offer a specific hook for "new issue" events,
      // but such event can be deduced from the payload of "issues" events.
      if (this.isNewIssue(event)) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta({
          user: event.user,
          issue: event.object_attributes,
        });
        this.$emit(event, meta);
      }
    },
  },
};

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
GitLabgitlabappThis component uses the GitLab app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis 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

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

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

Action

Send POST Request on HTTP / Webhook
Description:Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.
Version:1.1.1
Key:http-post-request

HTTP / Webhook Overview

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

An interface for configuring an HTTP request within Pipedream's workflow system. The current selection is a GET request with fields for the request URL, authorization type (set to 'None' with a note explaining "This request does not use authorization"), parameters, headers (with a count of 1, though the detail is not visible), and body. Below the main configuration area is an option to "Include Response Headers," and a button labeled "Configure to test." The overall layout suggests a user-friendly, no-code approach to setting up custom HTTP requests.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

This GIF depicts the process of selecting an application within Pipedream's HTTP Request Builder. A user hovers the cursor over the 'Auth' tab and clicks on a dropdown menu labeled 'Authorization Type', then scrolls through a list of applications to choose from for authorization purposes. The interface provides a streamlined and intuitive method for users to authenticate their HTTP requests by selecting the relevant app in the configuration settings.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

An image showing the Pipedream interface where the HTTP Webhook action has returned response data as a step export. The interface highlights a structured view of the returned data with collapsible sections. We can see 'steps.custom_request1' expanded to show 'return_value' which is an object containing a 'list'. Inside the list, an item 'data' is expanded to reveal an element with an 'id' of 'whisper-1', indicating a model created by and owned by 'openai-internal'. Options to 'Copy Path' and 'Copy Value' are available for easy access to the data points.

Action Code

import customRequest from "../custom-request/custom-request.mjs";

export default {
  ...customRequest,
  key: "http-post-request",
  name: "Send POST Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.",
  type: "action",
  version: "1.1.1",

      default: {
        method: "POST",
      },
    },
  },
};
