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.

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.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs"; export default { ...common, name: "New Column", key: "postgresql-new-column", description: "Emit new event when a new column is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "2.0.8", type: "source", props: { ...common.props, schema: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "schema", ], }, table: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "table", (c) => ({ schema: c.schema, }), ], }, }, async run() { const previousColumns = this._getPreviousValues() || []; const columns = await this.postgresql.getColumns(this.table, this.schema); const newColumns = columns.filter((column) => !previousColumns.includes(column)); for (const column of newColumns) { const meta = this.generateMeta(column); this.$emit(column, meta); } this._setPreviousValues(columns); }, };

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs

SSL Setup

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

About PostgreSQL#

PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Google Drive Overview#

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

Action Code#

import googleDrive from "../../google_drive.app.mjs"; export default { key: "google_drive-add-comment", name: "Add Comment", description: "Add an unanchored comment to a Google Doc (general feedback, no text highlighting). [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/comments/create)", version: "0.0.3", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { googleDrive, drive: { propDefinition: [ googleDrive, "watchedDrive", ], optional: false, }, fileId: { propDefinition: [ googleDrive, "fileId", (c) => ({ drive: c.drive, }), ], description: "The file to add a comment to.", }, content: { type: "string", label: "Comment Content", description: "The text content of the comment to add", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const response = await this.googleDrive.createComment( this.content, this.fileId, ); $.export("$summary", `Successfully added comment with ID ${response.data.id}`); return response.data; }, };

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
Google Drive	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Drive app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
File	`fileId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Comment Content	`content`	`string`	The text content of the comment to add

Action Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
