SurveyCTO
SurveyCTO is the most reliable, secure, and scalable mobile data collection platform for researchers and professionals working in offline settings.
Integrate the SurveyCTO API with the Snowflake API
Setup the SurveyCTO API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate SurveyCTO and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular SurveyCTO and Snowflake Triggers#
Emit new event each time a new form submission is received in SurveyCTO. See the documentation. Note: The role of the authenticated user must "Allow server API access".
Run a SQL query on a schedule, triggering a workflow for each row of results
Overview of SurveyCTO#
The SurveyCTO API enables automated interactions with SurveyCTO services, a platform focusing on data collection and organization for research and survey projects. With this API, you can seamlessly retrieve, push, and manage survey data. Integrating SurveyCTO with Pipedream opens a realm of possibilities for automating data workflows, such as triggering actions based on new survey submissions, syncing collected data with other databases or apps, or even automating reports and notifications.
Connect SurveyCTO#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
surveycto: {
type: "app",
app: "surveycto",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// Please replace {{your_form_id}} with a valid form ID for testing.
return await axios($, {
url: `https://${this.surveycto.$auth.servername}.surveycto.com/api/v2/forms/data/wide/json/{{your_form_id}}`,
auth: {
username: `${this.surveycto.$auth.email}`,
password: `${this.surveycto.$auth.password}`,
},
params: {
date: `0`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Snowflake#
Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.
Getting Started
1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake
Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.
We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.
2. Enter those details in Pipedream
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.
You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.
3. Build your first workflow
Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
