Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Field IDs	`fieldIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

Inoreader Overview#

The Inoreader API taps into the functionality of the Inoreader content reader, allowing the automation of tasks like subscribing to new feeds, listing articles, or marking items as read. In Pipedream, this can be leveraged to create custom workflows that integrate with other apps, trigger actions based on new content, or manage content consumption in a more efficient way.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "inoreader-subscribe-to-feed",
  name: "Subscribe To Feed",
  description: "Subscribe to a feed. [See the Documentation](https://www.inoreader.com/developers/add-subscription)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.1",
  props: {
    app,
    feedId: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "feedId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    addFeed(args = {}) {
      return this.app.post({
        path: "/subscription/quickadd",
        ...args,
      });
    },
  },
  async run({ $: step }) {
    const { feedId } = this;

    const response = await this.addFeed({
      step,
      params: {
        quickadd: this.app.prefixFeed(feedId),
      },
    });

    step.export("$summary", `Successfully subscribed to feed ${feedId}.`);

    return response;
  },
};
