Pipefy is a workflow management and process automation platform that helps organizations streamline their business processes. It provides tools for creating custom workflows, managing tasks, and automating repetitive processes to improve efficiency and productivity.

Configuring Pipefy as a Source

In the Sources tab, click on the “Add source” button located on the top right of your screen. Then, select the Pipefy option from the list of connectors. Click Next and you’ll be prompted to add your access.

1. Add account access

You can authenticate with Pipefy using either a Service Account (recommended) or a Personal Access Token (deprecated). The following configurations are available:
  • Organization ID: The unique identifier (ID) associated with your Pipefy organization. This can be extracted from the URL at https://app.pipefy.com/organizations/{YourOrganizationID}).
  • Authentication mode: The authentication mode to use. Choose between Service Account and Personal Access Token.
  • Service Account Credentials: (If Service Account is selected) Create a service account in Pipefy (Members and Permissions > Service Accounts) and provide the credentials here.
    • Client ID: The Client ID from the Pipefy service account.
    • Client Secret: The Client Secret from the Pipefy service account.
  • Personal Access Token: (If Personal Access Token is selected) Personal Access Tokens are deprecated. Use a service account instead for new integrations.
    • Auth Token: The Personal Access Token to authenticate against the Pipefy API.
  • Page Size: (Default: 50) Number of records per page for paginated GraphQL queries. Lower it (e.g., 25 or 10) if Pipefy returns 408 Request Timeout on heavy pipes.
  • Enable card attachments streams: (Default: false) When enabled, the source adds one all_cards_{pipeId}_attachments stream per pipe that downloads every card’s attachments and uploads them to a Nekt volume. This makes extractions significantly slower and heavier: each attachment is downloaded from Pipefy and re-uploaded to Nekt, and a card’s attachments are re-uploaded whenever the card changes. Only enable this if you need the card files stored in a Nekt volume.
  • Attachments Volume: Nekt volume to upload card attachments to. Required when card attachments streams are enabled.
Once you are done, click Next.

2. Select streams

Choose which data streams you want to sync - you can select all streams or pick specific ones that matter most to you. The available streams are dynamically discovered based on the pipes and tables in your organization.
Tip: The stream can be found more easily by typing its name.
Select the streams and click Next.

3. Configure data streams

Customize how you want your data to appear in your catalog. Select the desired layer where the data will be placed, a folder to organize it inside the layer, a name for each table (which will effectively contain the fetched data) and the type of sync.
  • Layer: choose between the existing layers on your catalog. This is where you will find your new extracted tables as the extraction runs successfully.
  • Folder: a folder can be created inside the selected layer to group all tables being created from this new data source.
  • Table name: we suggest a name, but feel free to customize it. You have the option to add a prefix to all tables at once and make this process faster!
  • Sync Type: you can choose between INCREMENTAL and FULL_TABLE.
    • Incremental: every time the extraction happens, we’ll get only the new data - which is good if, for example, you want to keep every record ever fetched.
    • Full table: every time the extraction happens, we’ll get the current state of the data - which is good if, for example, you don’t want to have deleted data in your catalog.
Once you are done configuring, click Next.

4. Configure data source

Describe your data source for easy identification within your organization, not exceeding 140 characters. To define your Trigger, consider how often you want data to be extracted from this source. This decision usually depends on how frequently you need the new table data updated (every day, once a week, or only at specific times). Optionally, you can define some additional settings:
  • Configure Delta Log Retention and determine for how long we should store old states of this table as it gets updated. Read more about this resource here.
  • Determine when to execute an Additional Full Sync. This will complement the incremental data extractions, ensuring that your data is completely synchronized with your source every once in a while.
Once you are ready, click Next to finalize the setup.

5. Check your new source

You can view your new source on the Sources page. If needed, manually trigger the source extraction by clicking on the arrow button. Once executed, your data will appear in your Catalog.
For you to be able to see it on your Catalog, you need at least one successful source run.

Streams and Fields

Below you’ll find all available data streams from Pipefy and their corresponding fields:
Stream for fetching cards information within a specific pipe. A stream is created for each pipe in your organization (e.g., all_cards_PIPE_ID).Key Fields:
Stream for fetching card attachments and uploading them to a Nekt volume. A stream is created for each pipe (e.g., all_cards_PIPE_ID_attachments).
This stream makes extractions significantly slower and heavier. Each attachment is downloaded from Pipefy and re-uploaded to Nekt, and a card’s attachments are re-uploaded whenever the card changes.
Key Fields:
Stream for managing the phases of your pipes.Key Fields:
Stream for managing the fields within each phase of your pipes.Key Fields:

Stream containing information about the tables in your organization.Key Fields:
Stream for managing records within a specific table. A stream is created for each table in your organization (e.g., table_records_TABLE_ID).Key Fields:

Implementation Notes

Dynamic Stream Discovery

  • The Pipefy connector dynamically discovers streams based on the pipes and tables available in your organization.
  • The connector is designed to be resilient to changes in your Pipefy environment. If a new Pipe or Table is added after your initial setup, the connector will safely handle the discovery of these new streams during subsequent syncs without failing on stale catalog references.
