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.

Google Contacts Overview#

The Google Contacts API allows you to integrate your contact data with custom applications, enabling you to sync, manage, and leverage your contact list for a variety of functions. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect the Google Contacts API to various other services, streamlining contact management tasks such as syncing contact details across platforms, automating outreach or follow-ups, and gathering insights from contact interactions.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "google_contacts-contact-created",
  name: "New Contact Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new contact is created. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people.connections/list)",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getEvents({
      client, params = {}, pageSize = constants.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE,
    }) {
      const {
        connections, nextPageToken,
      } = await this.googleContacts.listContacts(client, {
        pageSize,
        ...params,
      });
      return {
        events: connections,
        nextPageToken,
      };
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        resourceName: constants.RESOURCE_NAME,
        personFields: constants.FIELD_OPTIONS.join(),
        sortOrder: "LAST_MODIFIED_DESCENDING",
      };
    },
    getTs(contact) {
      return Date.parse(contact.metadata.sources[0].updateTime);
    },
    generateMeta(contact) {
      return {
        id: contact.resourceName,
        summary: contact.names[0].displayName,
        ts: this.getTs(contact),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Google Contacts	`googleContacts`	`app`	This component uses the Google Contacts app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

profileemailhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contactshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.other.readonly

About Google Contacts#

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 {

  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
