Badger Maps Overview#

The Badger Maps API offers interaction with a platform designed for field sales; it allows you to optimize routes, manage territories, and explore customer locations. Combining the Badger Maps API with Pipedream's capabilities enables the automation of sales processes, integration with CRM systems, and enhancement of data analytics. You can build workflows that respond to events in real-time, sync data across multiple platforms, and create custom triggers and actions that cater specifically to your sales strategies.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "badger_maps-new-check-in-created",
  name: "New Check-In Created",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new check-in is created.",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    accountId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "accountId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.app.listCheckIns;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return {
        params: {
          customer_id: this.accountId,
        },
      };
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New check-in ${resource.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.log_datetime),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Badger Maps	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Badger Maps app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To connect Pipedream to Badger Maps, first make sure you've requested API access from the Badger Maps Support team. Once they've enabled API access,

Sign in to your Badger Maps account
Navigate to your "Settings" at the bottom left

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Run Node Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "node-run-node-code",
  description: "Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.",
  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
