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.

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Column",
  key: "postgresql-new-column",
  description: "Emit new event when a new column is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)",
  version: "2.0.6",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    schema: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.postgresql,
        "schema",
      ],
    },
    table: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.postgresql,
        "table",
        (c) => ({
          schema: c.schema,
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const previousColumns = this._getPreviousValues() || [];

    const columns = await this.postgresql.getColumns(this.table, this.schema);

    const newColumns = columns.filter((column) => !previousColumns.includes(column));
    for (const column of newColumns) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(column);
      this.$emit(column, meta);
    }

    this._setPreviousValues(columns);
  },
};

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.

About PostgreSQL#

PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Action#

Translate on Google Cloud Translate

Description:Translate text using Google Cloud Translate

Version:0.0.3

Key:google_cloud_translate-translate

View on GitHub

Google Cloud Translate Overview#

The Google Cloud Translate API empowers developers to dynamically translate text between thousands of language pairs, integrate language translation into applications, websites, tools, and other solutions. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create automated workflows that respond to events from hundreds of sources, transforming and routing your data to various destinations, all while breaking down language barriers.

Action Code#

import google_cloud_translate from "../../google_cloud_translate.app.mjs";
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "Translate",
  version: "0.0.3",
  key: "google_cloud_translate-translate",
  description: "Translate text using Google Cloud Translate",
  props: {
    google_cloud_translate,
    text: {
      type: "string",
      description: "Text to translate",
      label: "Text",
    },
    target: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Target Language",
      description: "The two letter ISO code for the language to translate the text into",
      default: "en",
      async options() {
        const response = await fetch(`https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2/languages?key=${this.google_cloud_translate.$auth.api_key}&target=en`, {
          method: "GET",
        });
        const data = await response.json();
        return data.data.languages.map((language) => ({
          label: language.name,
          value: language.language,
        }));
      },
    },
  },
  type: "action",
  async run({ $ }) {
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=${this.google_cloud_translate.$auth.api_key}`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
      },
      data: {
        q: this.text,
        target: this.target,
      },
    });
  },
};

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
Google Cloud Translate	`google_cloud_translate`	`app`	This component uses the Google Cloud Translate app.
Text	`text`	`string`	Text to translate
Target Language	`target`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

To create an API key, your account must be granted the primitive Editor role (roles/editor) on the current project. For more information, see primitive roles.

To create an API key:

Navigate to the APIs & Services→Credentials panel in Cloud Console.
Select Create credentials, then select API key from the dropdown menu.
The API key created dialog box displays your newly created key.
