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
Grain	`grain`	`app`	This component uses the Grain app.
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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
View ID	`viewId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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