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.

Plain Overview#

The Plain API provides functionality for automating customer support tasks, such as managing conversations, customers, and team inboxes. Within Pipedream, you can leverage these features to create custom workflows that respond to events from your app or external services, triggering actions in Plain. By integrating the Plain API with Pipedream, you can enhance customer support efficiency, streamline communication, and keep customer data synchronized across platforms.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base-webhook.mjs"; import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs"; export default { ...common, key: "plain-thread-assignment-transitioned", name: "Thread Assignment Transitioned", description: "Emit new event when a thread assignment is transitioned.", version: "0.0.1", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", methods: { ...common.methods, getEventType() { return "thread.thread_assignment_transitioned"; }, getSummary({ payload }) { return `Thread Assignment Transitioned ID ${payload.thread.id}`; }, }, sampleEmit, };

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
Plain	`plain`	`app`	This component uses the Plain app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To get an API key, follow the following instructions: https://www.plain.com/docs/api-reference/graphql/authentication

GitLab Overview#

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Action Code#

import lodash from "lodash"; import gitlab from "../../gitlab.app.mjs"; export default { key: "gitlab-create-epic", name: "Create Epic", description: "Creates a new epic. [See the documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/epics.html#new-epic)", version: "0.0.5", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { gitlab, groupId: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "groupId", ], }, parent_id: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "epicIid", ({ groupId }) => ({ groupId, }), ], label: "Parent ID", optional: true, }, title: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "title", ], description: "The title of the epic", }, labels: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "groupLabels", ({ groupId }) => ({ groupId, }), ], }, description: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "description", ], description: "The description of the issue", }, color: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "color", ], }, confidential: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "confidential", ], }, created_at: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "created_at", ], }, start_date_is_fixed: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "start_date_is_fixed", ], reloadProps: true, }, due_date_is_fixed: { propDefinition: [ gitlab, "due_date_is_fixed", ], reloadProps: true, }, }, async additionalProps() { const props = {}; if (this.start_date_is_fixed) { props.start_date_fixed = { type: "string", label: "Start date fixed", description: "The fixed start date of an epic (in GitLab 11.3 and later)", }; } if (this.due_date_is_fixed) { props.due_date_fixed = { type: "string", label: "Due date fixed", description: "The fixed due date of an epic (in GitLab 11.3 and later)", }; } return props; }, async run({ $ }) { const data = lodash.pickBy(lodash.pick(this, [ "parent_id", "title", "labels", "description", "color", "confidential", "created_at", "start_date_is_fixed", "due_date_is_fixed", "start_date_fixed", "due_date_fixed", ])); data.labels = data.labels?.join(); const response = await this.gitlab.createEpic(this.groupId, { data, }); $.export("$summary", `Created epic ${this.title}`); return response; }, };

Action Authentication#

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

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