Flutterwave Overview#

The Flutterwave API empowers developers to automate payment processes and integrate various payment services within applications. With this API, you can initiate and receive payments, manage transactions, and access customer data securely. Utilizing Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on specific events, process data, and integrate with an array of services without managing servers.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "flutterwave-new-subscription",
  name: "New Subscription",
  description: "Emit new event when a new subscription is added.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.flutterwave.getSubscriptions;
    },
    getParams(lastTs) {
      return lastTs
        ? {
          subscribed_from: this.formatDate(lastTs),
        }
        : {};
    },
    generateMeta(subscription) {
      return {
        id: subscription.id,
        summary: `New Subscription: ${subscription.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(subscription.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
};
