Supabase Overview#

Supabase is a real-time backend-as-a-service that provides developers with a suite of tools to quickly build and scale their applications. It offers database storage, authentication, instant APIs, and real-time subscriptions. With the Supabase API, you can perform CRUD operations on your database, manage users, and listen to database changes in real time. When integrated with Pipedream, you can automate workflows that react to these database events, synchronize data across multiple services, or streamline user management processes.

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
Supabase	`supabase`	`app`	This component uses the Supabase app.
Table	`table`	`string`	The name of the table to watch for new rows
Row Identifier	`rowIdentifier`	`string`	The column name to use as the row identifier
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#

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

Supabase provides a Service Key to get started. You can find the service_role in the API Settings page.
