Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

Status Changed on FTrack

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”

There are two types of API Keys, Personal and Global.

For Personal API Key:

Go to “My Account” > “Security Settings”

For Global API Key:

Go to “System Settings” > “Security” > “API Keys”

Your subdomain is 1234 if your ftrack URL is https://1234.ftrackapp.com

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Value	`value`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your PostgreSQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 5432), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification (default), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
