FTrack Overview#

The FTrack API is a powerhouse for creative project management, enabling users to automate and integrate a wide array of tasks related to project tracking, asset management, and team collaboration. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within FTrack or connect it with other apps to streamline your creative operations. It's a toolset for improving efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, syncing data across applications, and orchestrating complex project management activities.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "ftrack-status-changed",
  name: "Status Changed",
  description: "Triggered when the status of an item is changed. [See the documentation](https://help.ftrack.com/en/articles/1040498-operations#query)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.app.listStatusChanges;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `Status Changed: ${resource.id}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
FTrack	`app`	`app`	This component uses the FTrack 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

Trigger Authentication#

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

To connect FTrack, you will need an FTrack Studio account.

To retrieve your Username and API Key,

Navigate to your ftrack account and sign in
Click the dropdown on the top right

For Username:

Go to “My Account” > “Account”

GitLab Overview#

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.
