Why Pipedream?

- theschmed 5y agoI, too, am excited about Pipedream. I think it needs more no-code support for some of the fundamental abstractions needed for scripting, especially ETL: - Branching - Looping For example: Recently, I built an integration from ForwardEmail to Airtable using Pipedream and realized I needed a secondary nightly automation to clean up the records so the Airtable base didn’t exceed my limits. Now, Pipedream happily executes a step that returns an array of Airtable records. Problem is, as far as I can tell, Pipedream has no native concept of “loop through every entry in the array”, so I had to hop into Javascript code to create a for loop.
- ctrlaltdylan 5y agoYup it's something that's been on the backlog for a bit and we're trying to solve for. Here's the issue if you'd like to follow: https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/193 https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/193 It is possible to make a custom source for ForwardEmail, and then emit 1 action per row, but that requires writing code outside of the GUI. Definitely hear you on this pain and we're working on it.
