Trigger

New Order Created on Square
Description:Emit new event for every new order created. [See the docs](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/orders-api/search-orders)
Version:0.0.3
Key:square-new-order-created

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-new-order-created", name: "New Order Created", description: "Emit new event for every new order created. [See the docs](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/orders-api/search-orders)", type: "source", version: "0.0.3", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...base.props, location: { propDefinition: [ base.props.square, "location", ], }, }, hooks: { ...base.hooks, async deploy() { console.log(`Retrieving at most last ${constants.MAX_HISTORICAL_EVENTS} objects...`); const { order_entries: orders } = await this.square.listOrders({ data: { ...this.getBaseParams(), }, }); if (!(orders?.length > 0)) { return; } this._setLastTs(Date.parse(orders[0].created_at)); orders?.slice(0, constants.MAX_HISTORICAL_EVENTS) .reverse() .forEach((order) => this.$emit(order, this.generateMeta(order))); }, }, methods: { ...base.methods, getBaseParams() { return { limit: constants.MAX_LIMIT, location_ids: [ this.location, ], query: { sort: { sort_field: "CREATED_AT", sort_order: "DESC", }, }, }; }, generateMeta(order) { return { id: order.id, summary: `Order created: ${order.id}`, ts: Date.parse(order.created_at), }; }, }, async run() { const lastTs = this._getLastTs(); let newLastTs; let cursor; let done = false; do { const response = await this.square.listOrders({ data: { ...this.getBaseParams(), cursor, }, }); const { orders } = response; if (!(orders?.length > 0)) { break; } if (!newLastTs) { newLastTs = Date.parse(orders[0].created_at); } for (const order of orders) { if (Date.parse(order.created_at) <= lastTs) { done = true; break; } this.emitEvent(order); } cursor = response?.cursor; } while (cursor && !done); this._setLastTs(newLastTs); }, };

Trigger Authentication

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

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