Checkvist Overview#

The Checkvist API allows for the creation and management of tasks and lists in a way that streamlines productivity and enhances organizational workflows. With the API, you can automate task updates, synchronize lists with other platforms, and trigger actions based on task completion. Utilizing Pipedream, these capabilities can be expanded by orchestrating complex workflows that connect Checkvist with a multitude of other apps and services, enabling seamless data flow and event-driven automation.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "checkvist-new-list-item",
  name: "New List Item Added",
  description: "Emit new event when a new list item is added in a selected list.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    listId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.checkvist,
        "listId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getFunction() {
      return this.checkvist.getListItems;
    },
    getArgs() {
      return {
        listId: this.listId,
      };
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New Item: ${item.content}`;
    },
  },
  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
Checkvist	`checkvist`	`app`	This component uses the Checkvist app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

You can obtain your API Key from your Checkvist user profile page.
