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#

Description:Emit new event when a new table is added to a database. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)

Version:2.0.6

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs"; export default { ...common, key: "mysql-new-table", name: "New Table", description: "Emit new event when a new table is added to a database. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)", type: "source", version: "2.0.6", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...common.props, db: "$.service.db", }, hooks: { async deploy() { const tables = await this.mysql.listTopTables({ maxCount: 10, }); this.iterateAndEmitEvents(tables); this._setLastResult(tables, "CREATE_TIME"); }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, async listResults() { const lastResult = this._getLastResult(); const tables = lastResult ? await this.mysql.listBaseTables({ lastResult, }) : await this.mysql.listTopTables({ maxCount: 10, }); this.iterateAndEmitEvents(tables); this._setLastResult(tables, "CREATE_TIME"); }, generateMeta({ TABLE_NAME: tableName, CREATE_TIME: createTime, }) { return { id: tableName, summary: tableName, ts: Date.parse(createTime), }; }, }, };

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL 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 MySQL 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

About MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

Google Drive Overview#

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

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
Google Drive	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Drive app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
File	`fileId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Destination File Path	`filePath`	`string`	The destination file name or path in the `/tmp` directory (e.g., `/tmp/myFile.csv`)
Conversion Format	`mimeType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
syncDir	`syncDir`	`dir`
Get Buffer Response	`getBufferResponse`	`boolean`	Whether to return the file content as a buffer instead of writing to a file path

Action Authentication#

Google Drive uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Drive account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Drive 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 Drive API.

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
