Is there any way to get current timestamp?

I need to pass some sort of date in an API, i might want to translate the date to another timezone, or just for now get the current date. Is it possible?

Solution:

Hi @Yogini, you can use the + new Date() to return the current timestamp, it will return in Unix format, you can also convert it to required format as the editor supports JavaScript.

Hi All,

Can I connect BuildShip to a Postgres hosted on AWS and run SQL commands directly to fetch some data? I need to do this directly using a DB cnnection instead of through APIs.

Sending txt file from FlutterFlow to Buildship (newbie here)

My ultimate goal is to send a txt file from FF to BS, and run custom nodes on the content of the txt file (as a string). I created an upload page in FF, first the file is uploaded to local state, then sent via API (Multipart, From Variable (<-- uploaded local file)) to BS. The snackbar says the API call is successful, but cannot really know as it is hard to test the result. I created a very basic BS workflow for testing (one rest api and one return node returning the whole request). (See the result attached) ...

Solution:

Hey @LuigidaBP, we recently added a new rest api file upload trigger that supports multipart form uploads (files). And we have a template to help you get started with it: https://buildship.app/remix?template=basic-file-upload

TTS Websockets

I just noticed the Open AI Streamer node now supports 11 Labs. That's fantastic! What should we use to actually listen to the stream? wss://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/{voice_id}/stream-input?model_id=eleven_monolingual_v1 ?.. or, our buildship hostname?

Solution:

Hi @Picture Me This, you can use the Eleven Labs Stream TTS Audio Node and listen the stream audio any media player supporting stream eg: vlc.

return values from a rest api call to openai assistant to get generated image from code interpreter

I need to extract values from return node after openai assistant call that uses code interpreter to generate an image of a chart. It does not seem possible at the moment. Please advise!

Solution:

HI @Aleks, return node is the ending point of the workflow where the process will hault. You can instead add the node inside the Assistant Node to generate an image chart, you can refer to this example - https://discord.com/channels/853498675484819476/1214155459158868019/1214473204341538856.

HTML to PDF bigger images

I use the HTML to PDF node, it works fine with images of size 1024x1024. I tested 32 pages (a book can have 60 pages), where each page have an image. But, I generate pdf for printing books with lulu.com. I need images of 4096x4096 to match the lulu's requirements. With that size, it generates the pdf, but when I try to open it, I get 'Error Failed to load PDF document'. Is there a limit on your server for Puppeteer or something?

URL to screenshot

Does anyone know what this premade workflow returns I want to try and pass the image to Gemini to have a look at it but the image URL it gives back is something weird. Cheers....

Solution:

Hi @H, The screenshot URL template returns a download URl of your image which is stored in you BuildShip storage, to pass it to the Gemini multimodal node, you can pass the path of upload it to the node.

Query Notion database not working

Hello all, I am new to buildship and trying to explore a possible Notion integration. So basically what I am trying to do is query a Notion database using filters to retrieve some specific elements from this database Now it looks like it does connect correctly to the database, but it just ignores completely the filters and returns all the items in the DB. I have tried the exact same filters on Postman and they returns the correct items so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if something is broken 🧐 This is the workflow, just the Rest call with the body containing the filters, than passing the filters to the Notion node and return the result. I also attached the workflow file. If anyone have any what's going on please help, I've been stuck on this all day yesterday 😅...

Solution:

Hey @LDMWEB, for the second issue with the body validation error, you need to remove the filter property and just use the data inside, i.e: ``` { "or": [ "property": "First Name"...

How to check how many execution time I have consumed this month.

I have checked whole panel but can't found this thing.

Solution:

Hi @anshboi, The Execution hours metrics is under the enhancement phase, to be exposed to the UI. We'll have it probably by the end of this month, for now we assure it won't cut off automatically, as we're managing it on the backend currently.

Converting pdf to base64

I am receiving a pdf in the body as a POST Rest api call and want to convert that pdf to a base64 string so i can save it the way i want in my Supabase db. I tried creating such node with AI but it doenst work. Does anyone has the code or a good prompt to create such node?...

Solution:

HI @Sleetza, to make this simpler, you can follow this flow: - PDF to Text (there is a pre-existing node for this). - Then create a node using AI or custom logic to convert text to base64 - pass the result to the Supabase Create node....

how do i make an API call to a supabase function? I have the variable to pass its just one variable.

how do i make an API call to a supabase function? I have the variable to pass its just one variable. Please provide examples. I am having trouble with the buildship syntax....

Solution:

Hey, @Russell, You can click the node info tooltip to get the steps on how to create a Supabase RPC function and use it. Here's an example function I used to test the RPC node.

BEGIN
  RETURN 'Hello, ' || name || '!';
END;

BEGIN
  RETURN 'Hello, ' || name || '!';
END;

Is it a bug or do I do something wrong? Try to add parameters to a value field.

Maybe it's very easy, I really don't understand it... See picture. This is the return value:...

Solution:

In the first string, you'll require to add back ticks instead of single quotes ' '. Lezer is: ${ctx["root"]["request"]["body"].namereader} just like you did in second line. Then it will work.

Solution:

Hi @Michelle Landon, could you please ensure your trigger method matches with the request method, you make to the API, if it still doesn't work you can submit a support request via in-app support.
