Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a SurveyMethods trigger and Python action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Response trigger
1. Connect your SurveyMethods account
2. Configure timer
3. Select a Survey Code
Configure the Run Python Code action
1. Connect your Python account
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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.

SurveyMethods Overview#

The SurveyMethods API allows users to automate the management and analysis of surveys and the corresponding data. With the Pipedream integration, you can trigger workflows based on survey events, sync survey results with other databases or apps, and manage survey distribution programmatically. This serves to streamline the survey process from distribution to data actioning, all in real-time and without the need for manual intervention.

Trigger Code#

import surveymethods from "../../surveymethods.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "New Response",
  version: "0.0.3",
  key: "surveymethods-new-response",
  description: "Emit new event for each response.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    surveymethods,
    db: "$.service.db",
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
    surveyCode: {
      propDefinition: [
        surveymethods,
        "surveyCode",
      ],
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const responses = await this.surveymethods.getResponses({
        surveyCode: this.surveyCode,
        perPage: 10,
      });

      responses.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    async emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.code,
        summary: `New response with code ${data.code}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.created_date),
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let page = 1;

    while (page >= 0) {
      const responses = await this.surveymethods.getResponses({
        surveyCode: this.surveyCode,
        page,
        perPage: 100,
      });

      responses.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);

      if (responses.length < 100) {
        return;
      }

      page++;
    }
  },
};

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
SurveyMethods	`surveymethods`	`app`	This component uses the SurveyMethods app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Survey Code	`surveyCode`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Use your account email address as your Login ID.
To get your API Key, follow the below steps:

Log in to your SurveyMethods account using your login id and password. The email
address that you provide during the registration will be your login id.
Go to the My Account Section.
Click on the API tab.

About SurveyMethods#

SurveyMethods provides powerful online survey software tool, advanced data analysis, email newsletters, and a comprehensive survey API.

Python Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Run Python Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "python-run-python-code",
  description: "Write Python and use any of the 350k+ PyPi packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Python docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/python) to learn more.",
  props: {
    python,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Placeholder action for Python code app
  },
};
