SeaTable Overview#

The SeaTable API allows you to interact programmatically with SeaTable databases. With it, you can create, update, and delete records, rows, and columns, manipulate tables, and manage users. In Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate data flows between SeaTable and other apps, trigger workflows based on changes in your SeaTable bases, and manipulate data without manual intervention. Think of it as connecting your spreadsheets' data to the wider web.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "seatable-new-row-created",
  name: "New Row Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new row is added to a table.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    isRelevant(event) {
      return event.data.op_type === "insert_row";
    },
    generateMeta(event) {
      const id = event.data.row_id;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New Row with ID ${id}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  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
SeaTable	`seatable`	`app`	This component uses the SeaTable 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#

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

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

About SeaTable#
