New Time Entry on Harvest

Description:Emit new notifications when a new time entry is created

Version:0.0.1

Harvest Overview#

The Harvest API allows developers to programmatically access data and objects
in Harvest, a web-based time tracking application. With the API, developers can
create applications that submit and retrieve time tracking data, as well as
automate various aspects of the Harvest user experience.

Some examples of what you can build using the Harvest API include:

A time tracking application that automatically submits time tracking data to
Harvest on behalf of the user
A reporting application that retrieves time tracking data from Harvest and
presents it in various charts and graphs
An integration with a third-party project management application that pulls
in time tracking data from Harvest to provide a more complete picture of
project progress

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  key: "harvest-new-timeentry-entry",
  name: "New Time Entry",
  description: "Emit new notifications when a new time entry is created",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    harvest,
    timer: {
      label: "Polling interval",
      description: "Pipedream will poll Harvest API on this schedule",
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: 60 * 15, // 15 minutes
      },
    },
    db: "$.service.db",
  },
  dedupe: "unique",
  async run() {
    const data = [];
    let lastDateChecked = this.harvest.getLastDateChecked(this.db);
    if (!lastDateChecked) {
      lastDateChecked = new Date().toISOString();
      this.harvest.setLastDateChecked(this.db, lastDateChecked);
    }
    const time_entries = await this.harvest.listTimeEntriesPaginated({
      page: 1,
      updatedSince: lastDateChecked,
    });
    for await (const time_entry of time_entries) {
      data.push(time_entry);
    }
    data && data.reverse().forEach((time_entry) => {
      this.harvest.setLastDateChecked(this.db, time_entry.updated_at);
      this.$emit(time_entry,
        {
          id: time_entry.id,
          summary: `Time Entry id: ${time_entry.id}`,
          ts: Date.parse(time_entry.updated_at),
        });
    });
  },
};

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
Harvest	`harvest`	`app`	This component uses the Harvest app.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll Harvest API on this schedule
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Discord Overview#

The Pipedream Discord app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Discord API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your guilds, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Discord actions, or write your own code against the Discord API.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "discord-send-message",
  name: "Send Message",
  description: "Send a simple message to a Discord channel",
  version: "1.0.1",
  type: "action",
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      message,
      avatarURL,
      threadID,
      username,
      includeSentViaPipedream,
    } = this;

    try {
      const resp = await this.discord.sendMessage(this.channel, {
        avatar_url: avatarURL,
        username,
        content: includeSentViaPipedream
          ? this.appendPipedreamText(message)
          : message,
      }, {
        thread_id: threadID,
      });
      $.export("$summary", "Message sent successfully");
      return resp || {
        success: true,
      };
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(err);
      const unsentMessage = this.getUserInputProps();
      $.export("unsent", unsentMessage);
      throw err;
    }
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Discord	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
channel	`channel`	`$.discord.channel`
Message	`message`	`string`	Enter a simple message up to 2000 characters. This is the most commonly used field. However, it's optional if you pass embed content.

Username	`username`	`string`	Overrides the current username of the webhook
Avatar URL	`avatarURL`	`string`	If used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook. Note: Consecutive posts by the same username within 10 minutes of each other will not display updated avatar.
Include link to workflow	`includeSentViaPipedream`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.
