Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.

Trigger Code#

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
Google Calendar	`googleCalendar`	`app`	This component uses the Google Calendar 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.
Pipedream API Key	`pipedreamApiKey`	`string`	Click here to find your Pipedream API key
Calendar ID	`calendarId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`defaultfocusTimeoutOfOfficeworkingLocation`
Minutes Before	`time`	`integer`	Number of minutes to trigger before the start of the calendar event.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.settings.readonlyemailprofile

About Google Calendar#

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.

Action Code#

import postgresql from "../../postgresql.app.mjs"; export default { name: "Delete Row(s)", key: "postgresql-delete-rows", description: "Deletes a row or rows from a table. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "2.0.9", annotations: { destructiveHint: true, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { postgresql, schema: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "schema", ], }, table: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "table", (c) => ({ schema: c.schema, }), ], }, column: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "column", (c) => ({ table: c.table, schema: c.schema, }), ], label: "Lookup Column", description: "Find row(s) by searching for a value in this column", }, value: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "value", (c) => ({ table: c.table, column: c.column, schema: c.schema, }), ], }, }, async run({ $ }) { const { table, schema, column, value, } = this; const errorMsg = "Row not deleted due to an error. "; const rows = await this.postgresql.deleteRows( schema, table, column, value, errorMsg, ); $.export("$summary", `Deleted ${rows.length} rows from ${table}`); return rows; }, };

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Value	`value`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action 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
