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.

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
Roam Research	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Roam Research app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Resource Type	`resourceType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`pageblock`
Page Title Or Block UID	`pageOrBlock`	`string`	The page title of the block uid to get data for. Page title example: `My Page` and Block UID example: `ideWWvTgI`.

Trigger Authentication#

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

IFTTT Overview#

IFTTT (If This Then That) is a service that lets you create chains of conditional statements, known as applets. These applets can automate tasks across a variety of web services and APIs. By integrating IFTTT with Pipedream, you unlock the ability to handle complex logic, manage state, transform data, and interact with over 600+ supported apps in Pipedream’s ecosystem. You can trigger workflows on Pipedream with events from IFTTT and vice versa, creating a seamless automation experience.

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
IFTTT	`ifttt`	`app`	This component uses the IFTTT app.
Webhook Key	`webhookKey`	`string`	The webhook key obtained in Webhook Settings
