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.

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "notion-new-database",
  name: "New Database",
  description: "Emit new event when a database is created. Note: Databases must be shared with your Pipedream Integtration to trigger event.",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "source",
  async run() {
    const databases = [];
    const params = this.lastCreatedSortParam();
    const lastCreatedTimestamp = this.getLastCreatedTimestamp();

    do {
      const response = await this.notion.listDatabases(params);

      for (const database of response.results) {
        if (!this.isResultNew(database.created_time, lastCreatedTimestamp)) {
          params.start_cursor = null;
          break;
        }
        databases.push(database);
      }

      params.start_cursor = response.next_cursor;
    } while (params.start_cursor);

    databases.reverse().forEach((database) => {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(
        database,
        constants.types.DATABASE,
        constants.timestamps.CREATED_TIME,
        constants.summaries.DATABASE_ADDED,
      );
      this.$emit(database, meta);
    });

    const lastCreatedTime = databases[databases.length - 1]?.created_time;
    if (lastCreatedTime) {
      this.setLastCreatedTimestamp(Date.parse(lastCreatedTime));
    }
  },
  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
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

TextIt Overview#

TextIt is an API that specializes in automating SMS, voice, and social messaging workflows. By leveraging Pipedream's integration capabilities, the TextIt API can be used to create powerful communication automations that respond in real-time to incoming messages, dispatch notifications, and interact with users. With Pipedream, these automations can be connected to a plethora of services to enhance CRM systems, facilitate survey collection, or streamline event-driven notifications.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Start Flow",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "textit-start-flow",
  description: "Starts a flow. [See docs here](https://textit.in/api/v2/flow_starts)",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    textit,
    flowUuid: {
      propDefinition: [
        textit,
        "flowUuid",
      ],
    },
    contactUuid: {
      propDefinition: [
        textit,
        "contactUuid",
      ],
    },
    groupUuid: {
      propDefinition: [
        textit,
        "groupUuid",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.textit.startFlow({
      $,
      data: {
        flow: this.flowUuid,
        contacts: [
          this.contactUuid,
        ],
        groups: [
          this.groupUuid,
        ],
      },
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully started flow with uuid ${this.flowUuid}`);
    }

    return response;
  },
};

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
TextIt	`textit`	`app`	This component uses the TextIt app.
Flow UUID	`flowUuid`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Contact UUID	`contactUuid`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Group UUID	`groupUuid`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Log in to your TextIt account, and head to the TextIt API v2 page. The API Key should appear on the top right if logged in.
