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#

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/table.mjs"; import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid"; const { mysql } = common.props; export default { ...common, key: "mysql-new-row-custom-query", name: "New Row (Custom Query)", description: "Emit new event when new rows are returned from a custom query. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)", version: "2.0.6", type: "source", dedupe: "unique", props: { ...common.props, column: { propDefinition: [ mysql, "column", (c) => ({ table: c.table, }), ], label: "De-duplication Key", description: "The name of a column in the table to use for de-duplication", optional: true, }, condition: { propDefinition: [ mysql, "whereCondition", ], }, values: { propDefinition: [ mysql, "whereValues", ], }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, async listResults() { const { table, condition, values, } = this; const numberOfQuestionMarks = condition?.match(/\?/g)?.length; if (!numberOfQuestionMarks) { throw new Error( "No valid condition provided. At least one question mark character ? must be provided.", ); } if (!Array.isArray(values)) { throw new Error( "No valid values provided. The values property must be an array.", ); } if (values.length !== numberOfQuestionMarks) { throw new Error( "The number of values provided does not match the number of question marks ? in the condition.", ); } const rows = await this.mysql.findRows({ table, condition, values, }); this.iterateAndEmitEvents(rows); }, generateMeta(row) { const id = this.column ? row[this.column] : uuidv4(); return { id, summary: `New Row ${id}`, ts: Date.now(), }; }, }, };

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
De-duplication Key	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Where condition	`condition`	`string`	In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. `column1 = ? or column2 = ?`). Depending on the number of `?` symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.
Values	`values`	`string[]`	This is the list of values that will match every `?` symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. `{{["string1", "string2"]}}`)

Trigger Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL 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 MySQL 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 MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream app for Slack is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Automate posting updates to your team channels
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
And much more!

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
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Signing Secret	`slackSigningSecret`	`string`	Slack Signing Secret, available in the app admin panel under Basic Info.
X-Slack-Signature	`slackSignature`	`string`	Slack signature (from X-Slack-Signature header).
X-Slack-Request-Timestamp	`slackRequestTimestamp`	`string`	Slack request timestamp (from X-Slack-Request-Timestamp header).
Request Body	`requestBody`	`any`	The body of the request to be verified.

Action Authentication#

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

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

channels:historychannels:readchannels:writeemoji:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writestars:readteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:userfiles:write:userfiles:readcommandsusers.profile:writeusers.profile:readsearch:read
