Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Monthly Schedule",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-monthly",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each month at a specific time (with timezone support).",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 1 * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

SFTP (password-based auth) Overview#

SFTP on Pipedream enables secure file management on remote servers directly from your workflows. Utilize this app to automate file uploads, downloads, and synchronization tasks between your systems and SFTP servers. Implement robust data pipelines or deploy content to web servers without manual intervention, all while maintaining a high level of security with password-based authentication.

Action Code#

// legacy_hash_id: a_YEikdQ
import Client from "ssh2-sftp-client";

export default {
  key: "sftp_password_based_auth-upload-file",
  name: "Upload String as File",

  version: "0.1.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    sftp_password_based_auth: {
      type: "app",
      app: "sftp_password_based_auth",
    },
    data: {
      type: "string",
      description: "A UTF-8 string to upload as a file on the remote server.",
    },
    remotePath: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Remote Path",
      description: "The path to the remote file to be created on the server.",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      host,
      username,
      password,
    } = this.sftp_password_based_auth.$auth;

    const config = {
      host,
      username,
      password,
    };

    const sftp = new Client();

    await sftp.connect(config);
    $.export("putResponse", await sftp.put(Buffer.from(this.data), this.remotePath));
    await sftp.end();
  },
};

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
SFTP (password-based auth)	`sftp_password_based_auth`	`app`	This component uses the SFTP (password-based auth) app.
data	`data`	`string`	A UTF-8 string to upload as a file on the remote server.
Remote Path	`remotePath`	`string`	The path to the remote file to be created on the server.

Action Authentication#

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

Below, enter the hostname of the SFTP server you'd like to connect to, your username, and the password you'd like to use to connect.

This app only supports password-based authentication, not authentication via private key. If you need to use a private key to connect to a host, please use the SFTP (key-based auth) app, instead.
