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#

New Post Created (Instant) on Deputy

Description:Emit new event when a new newsfeed post arrives

Version:0.0.1

Key:deputy-new-post-created

View on GitHub

Deputy Overview#

Deputy is a robust workforce management tool, catering to scheduling, timesheet tracking, and other employee coordination tasks. Leveraging the Deputy API on Pipedream allows you to automate mundane tasks, sync data across platforms, and create custom notifications based on employee actions. You could build workflows to manage shifts, sync employee details with HR systems, or trigger payroll processes, harnessing Pipedream's capability to integrate with various services without the need for manual coding.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "deputy-new-post-created",
  name: "New Post Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new newsfeed post arrives",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getTopic() {
      return "Memo.Insert";
    },
    generateMeta(post) {
      return {
        id: post.Id,
        summary: `New Post: ${post.Id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(post.Created),
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Deputy	`deputy`	`app`	This component uses the Deputy app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

longlife_refresh_token

Action#

Send POST Request on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-post-request

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Action Code#

import customRequest from "../custom-request/custom-request.mjs";

export default {
  ...customRequest,
  key: "http-post-request",
  name: "Send POST Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.",
  type: "action",
  version: "1.1.1",
  props: {
    ...customRequest.props,
    /* eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-label,pipedream/props-description */
    httpRequest: {
      ...customRequest.props.httpRequest,
      default: {
        method: "POST",
      },
    },
  },
};
