Google Classroom Overview#

The Google Classroom API lets you tap into the educational space by managing courses, assignments, and student interactions programmatically. With this API, you can automate course creation, roster management, and content distribution, effectively bridging the gap between various educational tools and platforms. Leveraging Pipedream's serverless execution environment, you can build powerful workflows that respond to events in Classroom, sync data across platforms, and streamline the educational process for teachers and students alike.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs"; import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs"; export default { ...common, key: "google_classroom-new-assignment", name: "New Assignment", description: "Emit new event when an assignment is added to a course.", version: "0.0.4", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...common.props, keywords: { type: "string[]", label: "Keywords", description: "Limit the results to assignments that contain keywords", optional: true, reloadProps: true, }, }, async additionalProps() { if (this.keywords?.length > 0) { return { searchDescription: { type: "boolean", label: "Search Title & Description?", description: "Set to `true` to search both title and description for keyword(s). If `false`, only assignment titles will be searched", optional: true, default: false, }, }; } }, methods: { ...common.methods, async getHistoricalEvents({ pageSize }) { const { courseWork } = await this.googleClassroom.listCoursework({ ...this.getParams(), pageSize, }); return courseWork; }, async getResults(after) { return this.paginate(this.googleClassroom.listCoursework, this.getParams(), "courseWork", after); }, getParams() { return { courseId: this.course, courseWorkStates: this.courseStates, }; }, isRelevant(assignment, after = null) { if (!this.isAfter(assignment.creationTime, after)) { return false; } if (this.keywords?.length > 0) { const titleMatch = this.keywordsMatch(assignment.title); if (this.searchDescription) { const descriptionMatch = this.keywordsMatch(assignment?.description); return titleMatch || descriptionMatch; } else { return titleMatch; } } return true; }, keywordsMatch(text = "") { const matches = this.keywords?.filter((keyword) => text.includes(keyword)); return matches.length > 0; }, generateMeta(assignment) { return { id: assignment.id, summary: `New assignment ${assignment.title}`, ts: Date.parse(assignment.creationTime), }; }, }, sampleEmit, };

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 Classroom	`googleClassroom`	`app`	This component uses the Google Classroom app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Course States	`courseStates`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`COURSE_STATE_UNSPECIFIEDACTIVEARCHIVEDPROVISIONEDDECLINEDSUSPENDED`
Course	`course`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Keywords	`keywords`	`string[]`	Limit the results to assignments that contain keywords

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.emailhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.courses.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.coursework.studentshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.coursework.mehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.announcements.readonly

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: "Execute SQL Query", key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query", description: "Execute a custom PostgreSQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.", version: "3.0.5", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { postgresql, // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description sql: { type: "sql", auth: { app: "postgresql", }, label: "PostgreSQL Query", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql); const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args); $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1 ? "row" : "rows"}`); return data; }, };

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.
PostgreSQL Query	`sql`	`sql`

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
