Trigger#

New Link Created on Short.io

Description:Emit new event when a link is created.

Version:0.0.4

Key:short-new-link-created

View on GitHub

Short.io Overview#

Short.io provides a robust API for URL shortening, allowing you to create, delete, and track shortened links programmatically. By integrating with Pipedream, you can automate link creation or aggregation of click data in real-time, triggering workflows in response to events like link clicks or creating short links in bulk from a data source.

Trigger Code#

import shortApp from "../../short.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "short-new-link-created",
  name: "New Link Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a link is created.",
  version: "0.0.4",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    shortApp,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      label: "Watching timer",
      description: "How often to watch the links.",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
    domainId: {
      propDefinition: [
        shortApp,
        "domainId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    emit(meta) {
      const ts = Date.parse(meta.createdAt);
      this.$emit(meta, {
        id: meta.idString,
        summary: meta.secureShortURL,
        ts,
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const links = await this.shortApp.listLinks(this.domainId);
    for (const link of links) {
      this.emit(link);
    }
  },
};

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
Short.io	`shortApp`	`app`	This component uses the Short.io app.
Watching timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to watch the links.
