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.

Trigger

Description:Emit new events when new gists are created by the authenticated user
Version:0.1.9
Key:github-new-gist

Trigger Code

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-gist",
  name: "New Gist",
  description: "Emit new events when new gists are created by the authenticated user",
  version: "0.1.9",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  async run() {
    const gists = await this.github.getGists();

    gists.map((gist) => {
      this.$emit(gist, {
        id: gist.id,
        summary: `New gist ${gist.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(gist.created_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.

timer$.interface.timer
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

repoadmin:orgadmin:public_keyadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsuserwrite:discussionwrite:packagesread:packagesadmin:repo_hook

About GitHub

Where the world builds software. Millions of developers and companies build, ship, and maintain their software on GitHub—the largest and most advanced development platform in the world.

Action

Description:Sends a new message from a channel. It will create a new conversation. [See the docs here](https://dev.frontapp.com/reference/post_channels-channel-id-messages).
Version:0.2.3
Key:frontapp-send-new-message

Front Overview

With the Front API, you can build a variety of applications and integrations to
help you and your team manage your email inboxes. Here are a few examples of
what you can build:

  • A personalized email assistant that can help you triage and respond to emails
  • An integration with your CRM that automatically adds emails from customers to
    your CRM
  • A tool that flags important emails and sends you notifications about them
  • An app that helps you find emails from a specific sender or with a certain
    subject line
  • A script that archives all of your old emails

These are just a few examples of what you can build with the Front API – the
possibilities are really only limited by your imagination!
