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#

New or Updated Page in Data Source (By Timestamp) on Notion

Description:Emit new event when a page is created or updated in the selected data source. [See the documentation](https://developers.notion.com/reference/page)

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import notion from "../../notion.app.mjs"; import base from "../common/base.mjs"; import constants from "../common/constants.mjs"; import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs"; export default { ...base, key: "notion-updated-page-by-timestamp", name: "New or Updated Page in Data Source (By Timestamp)", description: "Emit new event when a page is created or updated in the selected data source. [See the documentation](https://developers.notion.com/reference/page)", version: "1.0.0", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...base.props, dataSourceId: { propDefinition: [ notion, "dataSourceId", ], }, includeNewPages: { type: "boolean", label: "Include New Pages", description: "Set to `false` to emit events only for updates, not for new pages.", default: true, }, }, methods: { ...base.methods, _generateMeta(obj, summary) { const { id } = obj; const title = this.notion.extractPageTitle(obj); const ts = Date.parse(obj.last_edited_time); return { id: `${id}-${ts}`, summary: `${summary}: ${title}`, ts, }; }, _emitEvent(page, isNewPage = true) { const meta = isNewPage ? this._generateMeta(page, constants.summaries.PAGE_ADDED) : this._generateMeta(page, constants.summaries.PAGE_UPDATED); this.$emit(page, meta); }, }, async run() { const lastUpdatedTimestamp = this.getLastUpdatedTimestamp(); let newLastUpdatedTimestamp = lastUpdatedTimestamp; const params = { ...this.lastUpdatedSortParam(), filter: { timestamp: "last_edited_time", last_edited_time: { on_or_after: new Date(lastUpdatedTimestamp).toISOString(), }, }, }; const pagesStream = this.notion.getPages(this.dataSourceId, params); for await (const page of pagesStream) { if (lastUpdatedTimestamp > Date.parse(page.last_edited_time)) { break; } newLastUpdatedTimestamp = Math.max( newLastUpdatedTimestamp, Date.parse(page.last_edited_time), ); const isNewPage = page.last_edited_time === page.created_time; if (isNewPage && !this.includeNewPages) { console.log(`Ignoring new page: ${page.id}`); continue; } this._emitEvent(page, isNewPage); } this.setLastUpdatedTimestamp(newLastUpdatedTimestamp); }, 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
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Data Source ID	`dataSourceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include New Pages	`includeNewPages`	`boolean`	Set to `false` to emit events only for updates, not for new pages.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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"; import { parseRowValues } from "../../common/utils.mjs"; export default { name: "Insert Row", key: "postgresql-insert-row", description: "Adds a new row. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "2.0.9", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { postgresql, schema: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "schema", ], }, table: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "table", (c) => ({ schema: c.schema, }), ], }, rowValues: { propDefinition: [ postgresql, "rowValues", ], description: "JSON representation of your table rows. Accept a single row (JSON Object) or multiple rows (JSON array). For example: `{ \"product_id\": 1, \"product_name\": \"Laptop Pro 15\", \"price\": 1200.50, \"stock_quantity\": 50, \"created_at\": \"2023-10-26T10:00:00Z\" }`", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const { schema, table, rowValues, } = this; const results = []; const parsedRowValues = parseRowValues(rowValues); const parsedRowValuesArray = Array.isArray(parsedRowValues) ? parsedRowValues : [ parsedRowValues, ]; const errorMsg = "New row(s) not inserted due to an error. "; for (const row of parsedRowValuesArray) { const columns = Object.keys(row); const values = Object.values(row); const res = await this.postgresql.insertRow( schema, table, columns, values, errorMsg, ); results.push(res); } $.export("$summary", `Successfully inserted ${results.length} row${results.length === 1 ? "" : "s"}`); return results; }, };

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.
Row Values	`rowValues`	`object`	JSON representation of your table rows. Accept a single row (JSON Object) or multiple rows (JSON array). For example: `{ "product_id": 1, "product_name": "Laptop Pro 15", "price": 1200.50, "stock_quantity": 50, "created_at": "2023-10-26T10:00:00Z" }`

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
