DEAR Systems Overview#

DEAR Systems offers an API that provides programmatic access to its inventory management platform, allowing for seamless integration with other apps for automating various business processes. Leveraging this API within Pipedream, you can create custom workflows to synchronize inventory levels, manage sales and purchase orders, and automate financial reporting among other tasks. By connecting DEAR Systems to Pipedream’s vast array of supported apps, you can achieve a high degree of automation, reducing manual entry and data errors, and gaining insights from real-time data processing.

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
DEAR Systems	`dear`	`app`	This component uses the DEAR Systems app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
“SKU” Starts With”	`sku`	`string`	Filter products with the SKU starting with this value
Name Starts With	`name`	`string`	Filter products with the Name starting with this value

Trigger Authentication#

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

To use the API you will need your DEAR Account ID and API Application key. These can be created on the API setup page inside DEAR Inventory application.

About DEAR Systems#

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:

  async run({
    steps, $,
