Square Overview#

The Square API opens up a realm of possibilities for merchants to effortlessly manage their sales, inventory, customers, and payments. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on events in Square, such as new transactions, updated orders, or customer profile changes. Craft custom workflows that react in real-time, sync data across platforms, or streamline reporting. Through Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect Square with countless other apps without writing extensive code, turning manual tasks into automated, efficient processes.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base-polling.mjs"; import constants from "../common/constants.mjs"; export default { ...base, key: "square-catalog-item-updated", name: "Catalog Item Updated", description: "Emit new event every time a catalog item is updated. [See the docs](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/catalog-api/list-catalog)", type: "source", version: "0.0.3", dedupe: "unique", hooks: { ...base.hooks, async deploy() { console.log(`Retrieving at most last ${constants.MAX_HISTORICAL_EVENTS} objects...`); const { objects } = await this.square.listCatalogItems({ params: { ...this.getBaseParams(), }, }); if (!(objects?.length > 0)) { return; } let newLastTs = 0; for (const object of objects.slice(0, constants.MAX_HISTORICAL_EVENTS)) { if (Date.parse(object.updated_at) > newLastTs) { newLastTs = Date.parse(object.updated_at); } this.$emit(object, this.generateMeta(object)); } this._setLastTs(newLastTs); }, }, methods: { ...base.methods, getBaseParams() { return { limit: constants.MAX_LIMIT, types: "ITEM", }; }, generateMeta(object) { const ts = Date.parse(object.updated_at); return { id: `${object.id}${ts}`, summary: `Catalog Item Updated: ${object.id}`, ts, }; }, }, async run() { const lastTs = this._getLastTs(); let newLastTs = lastTs; let cursor; do { const response = await this.square.listCatalogItems({ params: { ...this.getBaseParams(), cursor, }, }); const { objects } = response; if (!(objects?.length > 0)) { break; } for (const object of objects) { if (Date.parse(object.updated_at) > lastTs) { newLastTs = Date.parse(object.updated_at); } this.emitEvent(object); } cursor = response?.cursor; } while (cursor); this._setLastTs(newLastTs); }, };

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
Square	`square`	`app`	This component uses the Square app.
