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.

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.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs"; export default { ...common, name: "New Row", key: "postgresql-new-row", description: "Emit new event when a new row is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "3.0.8", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...common.props, schema: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "schema", ], }, table: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "table", (c) => ({ schema: c.schema, }), ], }, column: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "column", (c) => ({ schema: c.schema, table: c.table, }), ], description: "An ID or timestamp column where new rows will always contain larger values than the previous row. Defaults to the table's primary key.", optional: true, }, }, hooks: { /** If column prop is left blank, get the table's primary key to use * for ordering and deduping. */ async deploy() { const column = this.column ? this.column : await this.postgresql.getPrimaryKey(this.table, this.schema); const isColumnUnique = await this.isColumnUnique(this.schema, this.table, column); if (!isColumnUnique) { throw new Error("The column selected contains duplicate values. Column must be unique"); } this._setColumn(column); await this.initialRows(this.schema, this.table, column); }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, _getColumn() { return this.db.get("column"); }, _setColumn(column) { this.db.set("column", column); }, generateMeta(row, column) { return { id: row[column], summary: "New Row Added", ts: Date.now(), }; }, }, async run() { const column = this._getColumn(); await this.newRows(this.schema, this.table, column); }, };

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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

About PostgreSQL#

PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.
