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 Custom Query", key: "postgresql-new-row-custom-query", description: "Emit new event when new rows are returned from a custom query that you provide. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)", version: "2.0.8", 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) => ({ table: c.table, schema: c.schema, }), ], }, query: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "query", ], description: "Specify the query to select new or updated rows since the last poll. For example, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE country = 'US'`", }, values: { propDefinition: [ common.props.postgresql, "values", ], }, }, hooks: { async deploy() { if (this.values && !Array.isArray(this.values)) { throw new Error("No valid values provided. The values property must be an array."); } const numberOfValues = this.query?.match(/\$/g)?.length || 0; if (this.values && this.values.length !== numberOfValues) { throw new Error("The number of values provided does not match the number of values in the query."); } const isColumnUnique = await this.isColumnUnique(this.schema, this.table, this.column); if (!isColumnUnique) { throw new Error("The column selected contains duplicate values. Column must be unique"); } }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, generateMeta(row, column) { return { id: row[column], summary: "New Row", ts: Date.now(), }; }, }, async run() { const rows = await this.postgresql.executeQuery({ text: this.query, values: this.values, }); for (const row of rows) { const meta = this.generateMeta(row, this.column); this.$emit(row, meta); } }, };

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.
SQL Query	`query`	`string`	Specify the query to select new or updated rows since the last poll. For example, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE country = 'US'`
Values	`values`	`string[]`	List of values represented in your SQL Query above

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.

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.

Action Code#

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
Data Source ID	`dataSourceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Properties	`properties`	`object`	The properties of a data source to be changed in the request, in the form of a JSON object. If updating an existing property, then the keys are the names or IDs of the properties as they appear in Notion, and the values are property schema objects. If adding a new property, then the key is the name of the new data source property and the value is a property schema object

Action 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:
