Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Breathe trigger and Google Cloud action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the Employee Updated trigger
1. Connect your Breathe account
2. Configure timer
Configure the Switch Instance Boot Status action
1. Connect your Google Cloud account
2. Select a Zone
3. Select a Instance Name
4. Select a New Instance Status
5. Configure Wait Completion
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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#

Employee Updated on Breathe

Description:Emit new event when an existing employee is updated in Breathe. [See the documentation](https://developer.breathehr.com/examples#!/employees/GET_version_employees_json)

Version:0.0.1

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs"; export default { ...common, key: "breathe-employee-updated", name: "Employee Updated", description: "Emit new event when an existing employee is updated in Breathe. [See the documentation](https://developer.breathehr.com/examples#!/employees/GET_version_employees_json)", version: "0.0.1", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", methods: { ...common.methods, getTsField() { return "updated_at"; }, getResourceFn() { return this.breathe.listEmployees; }, getResourceKey() { return "employees"; }, isRelevant(employee) { return !(employee.created_at === employee.updated_at); }, generateMeta(employee) { const ts = Date.parse(employee.updated_at); return { id: `${employee.id}-${ts}`, summary: `Employee Updated: ${employee.first_name} ${employee.last_name}`, ts, }; }, }, };

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

Trigger Authentication#

Breathe uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Breathe account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Breathe APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Google Cloud Overview#

The Google Cloud API opens a world of possibilities for enhancing cloud operations and automating tasks. It empowers you to manage, scale, and fine-tune various services within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create intricate workflows, trigger cloud functions based on events from other apps, manage resources, and analyze data, all in a serverless environment. The ability to interconnect GCP services with numerous other apps enriches automation, making it easier to synchronize data, streamline development workflows, and deploy applications efficiently.

Action Code#
