Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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 Table", key: "postgresql-new-table", description: "Emit new event when a new table is added to the database. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "2.0.8", type: "source", props: { ...common.props, schema: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "schema", ], }, }, async run() { const previousTables = this._getPreviousValues() || []; const tables = await this.postgresql.getTables(this.schema); const newTables = tables.filter((table) => !previousTables.includes(table)); for (const table of newTables) { const meta = this.generateMeta(table); this.$emit(table, meta); } this._setPreviousValues(tables); }, };

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.

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.

NiftyImages Overview#

The NiftyImages API allows for the dynamic creation and customization of images for email marketing campaigns. By automating image personalization, users can create unique, engaging visuals that resonate with each recipient. It's possible to insert text into images, generate countdown timers, and manipulate image URLs on the fly, enhancing the visual appeal and relevance of marketing messages.

Action Code#

import niftyimages from "../../app/niftyimages.app.mjs"; import { defineAction } from "@pipedream/types"; import { ConfigurationError } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineAction({ name: "Add Data Store Record", description: "Create or update a Data Store Record [See docs here](https://api.niftyimages.com/)", key: "niftyimages-add-data-store-record", version: "0.0.2", annotations: { destructiveHint: true, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { niftyimages, dataStoreApiKey: { label: "Data Store API Key", description: `The API Key for the Data Store you want to create/update a record on. \\ To find this, go to **Data Sources**, choose a Data Store, and click on **"Use Our API"**. \\ *Note that only a **Custom Store** can be updated.*`, type: "string", reloadProps: true, }, }, async additionalProps() { const newProps = {}; const apiKey = this.dataStoreApiKey?.trim(); let fields; try { fields = await this.niftyimages.getDataStoreFields(apiKey); } catch (err) { throw new ConfigurationError(`Error fetching data - please check the **API Key**. \`${err.message}\``); } const newPropNames = []; fields.forEach((field) => { const { name, type, date_input_format, } = field; newProps[name] = { label: this.niftyimages.getFieldLabel(field), description: date_input_format ? `Must be a date in the \`${date_input_format}\` format` : undefined, type: this.niftyimages.getFieldPropType(type), }; newPropNames.push(name); }); newProps["$fieldNames"] = { label: "Fields to Update", description: "Comma-separated list of the fields to be updated (defaults to all).", type: "string", optional: true, default: newPropNames.join(), }; return newProps; }, async run({ $ }) { // I had to explicitly cast the type here due to a current limitation // in the action type combined with the additionalProps method const $this = this; const strNames = $this.$fieldNames?.trim(); if (!strNames) { throw new ConfigurationError("Please check the `Fields to Update` prop."); } const data = {}; strNames.split(",").forEach((fieldName) => { const name = fieldName.trim(); data[name] = $this[name]; }); const params = { $, apiKey: $this.dataStoreApiKey, data, }; const response = await $this.niftyimages.addRecord(params); $.export("$summary", "Updated record successfully"); return response; }, });

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
NiftyImages	`niftyimages`	`app`	This component uses the NiftyImages app.
Data Store API Key	`dataStoreApiKey`	`string`	The API Key for the Data Store you want to create/update a record on. To find this, go to Data Sources, choose a Data Store, and click on "Use Our API". Note that only a Custom Store* can be updated.*

Action Authentication#

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