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#

PostHog Overview#

The PostHog API lets you track events, update user properties, and extract analytics to understand user behavior within your applications. Integrating this API into Pipedream workflows allows you to automate actions based on event data, sync user properties across platforms, and trigger alerts or notifications.

Trigger Code#

import posthog from "../../posthog.app.mjs"; import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default { key: "posthog-new-action-performed", name: "New Action Performed", description: "Emit new event when an action is performed in a project. [See the documentation](https://posthog.com/docs/api/query#post-api-projects-project_id-query)", version: "0.0.3", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", props: { posthog, db: "$.service.db", timer: { type: "$.interface.timer", default: { intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL, }, }, organizationId: { propDefinition: [ posthog, "organizationId", ], }, projectId: { propDefinition: [ posthog, "projectId", (c) => ({ organizationId: c.organizationId, }), ], }, }, hooks: { async deploy() { await this.processEvent(25); }, }, methods: { _getLastTs() { return this.db.get("lastTs"); }, _setLastTs(lastTs) { this.db.set("lastTs", lastTs); }, emitEvent(event) { const meta = this.generateMeta(event); this.$emit(event, meta); }, generateMeta(event) { return { id: event.uuid, summary: `New ${event.event} event`, ts: Date.parse(event.timestamp), }; }, buildQuery(limit) { const lastTs = this._getLastTs(); let query = "SELECT * FROM events"; if (lastTs) { query += ` WHERE timestamp > '${lastTs}'`; } query += " ORDER BY timestamp DESC"; if (limit) { query += ` LIMIT ${limit}`; } return query; }, formatEvents(columns, results) { return results.map((result) => { const values = {}; for (let i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) { values[columns[i]] = result[i]; } return values; }); }, async processEvent(limit) { const { columns, results, } = await this.posthog.createQuery({ projectId: this.projectId, data: { query: { kind: "HogQLQuery", query: this.buildQuery(limit), }, }, }); const events = this.formatEvents(columns, results); if (!events?.length) { return; } this._setLastTs(events[0].timestamp.slice(0, 19)); events.reverse().forEach((event) => this.emitEvent(event)); }, }, async run() { await this.processEvent(); }, };

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
PostHog	`posthog`	`app`	This component uses the PostHog app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Organization ID	`organizationId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Project ID	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Create Table on Airtable

Description:Create a new table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-table)

Version:0.0.13

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

import airtable from "../../airtable_oauth.app.mjs"; export default { key: "airtable_oauth-create-table", name: "Create Table", description: "Create a new table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-table)", version: "0.0.13", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { airtable, baseId: { propDefinition: [ airtable, "baseId", ], }, name: { type: "string", label: "Name", description: "The name of the table", }, description: { type: "string", label: "Description", description: "The description of the table", optional: true, }, fields: { type: "string[]", label: "Fields", description: "A list of JSON objects representing the fields in the table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/model/field-type) for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const fields = []; for (const field of this.fields) { const fieldObj = typeof field === "object" ? field : JSON.parse(field); fields.push(fieldObj); } const response = await this.airtable.createTable({ baseId: this.baseId, data: { name: this.name, description: this.description, fields, }, $, }); if (response) { $.export("$summary", `Successfully created table with ID ${response.id}.`); } return response; }, };

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Name	`name`	`string`	The name of the table
Description	`description`	`string`	The description of the table
Fields	`fields`	`string[]`	A list of JSON objects representing the fields in the table. See the documentation for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
