Properties

cacheTtlSecs?

readonly optional cacheTtlSecs: number

Defined in: api_types.ts:593

How long formulas running with the same values should cache their results for.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.cacheTtlSecs


connectionRequirement?

readonly optional connectionRequirement: ConnectionRequirement

Defined in: api_types.ts:585

Does this formula require a connection (aka an account)?

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.connectionRequirement


description

readonly description: string

Defined in: api_types.ts:554

A brief description of what the formula does.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.description


examples?

readonly optional examples: object[]

Defined in: api_types.ts:574

Sample inputs and outputs demonstrating usage of this formula.

params

params: (PackFormulaValue | undefined)[]

result

result: PackFormulaResult

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.examples


extraOAuthScopes?

readonly optional extraOAuthScopes: string[]

Defined in: api_types.ts:615

OAuth scopes that the formula needs that weren't requested in the pack's overall authentication config. For example, a Slack pack can have one formula that needs admin privileges, but non-admins can use the bulk of the pack without those privileges. Coda will give users help in understanding that they need additional authentication to use a formula with extra OAuth scopes. Note that these scopes will always be requested in addition to the default scopes for the pack, so an end user must have both sets of permissions.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.extraOAuthScopes


instructions?

readonly optional instructions: string

Defined in: api_types.ts:559

Instructions for LLMs to use the formula, overrides the description for LLMs if set.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.instructions


isAction?

readonly optional isAction: boolean

Defined in: api_types.ts:580

Does this formula take an action (vs retrieve data or make a calculation)? Actions are presented as buttons in the Coda UI.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.isAction


isExperimental?

readonly optional isExperimental: boolean

Defined in: api_types.ts:599

If specified, the formula will not be suggested to users in Coda's formula autocomplete. The formula can still be invoked by manually typing its full name.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.isExperimental


isSystem?

readonly optional isSystem: boolean

Defined in: api_types.ts:605

Whether this is a formula that will be used by Coda internally and not exposed directly to users. Not for use by packs that are not authored by Coda.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.isSystem


name

readonly name: string

Defined in: api_types.ts:549

The name of the formula, used to invoke it.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.name


network?

readonly optional network: Network

Defined in: api_types.ts:588

Deprecated

use isAction and connectionRequirement instead

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.network


parameters

readonly parameters: ParamsT

Defined in: api_types.ts:564

The parameter inputs to the formula, if any.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.parameters


validateParameters?

optional validateParameters: MetadataFormula<ExecutionContext, ParameterValidationResult>

Defined in: api_types.ts:659

The JavaScript function that implements parameter validation. This is only allowed on sync formulas.

This function takes in parameters and a context containing a PermissionSyncMode and validates the parameters. A formula may want to validate parameters differently for permissionSyncMode 'PermissionAware' vs 'Personal' vs undefined (which represents a formula).

Example

validateParameters: async function (context, _, params) {
  let {quantity, sku} = ensureExists(params);
  let errors = [];
  if (quantity < 0) {
    errors.push({message: "Must be a positive number.", propertyName: "quantity"});
  }
  if (!isValidSku(context, sku)) {
    errors.push({message: `Product SKU not found.`, propertyName: "sku"});
  }
  if (errors.length > 0) {
    return {
      isValid: false,
      message: "Invalid parameter values.",
      errors,
    };
  }
  return {
    isValid: true,
  };
},

Returns

a ParameterValidationResult

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.validateParameters


varargParameters?

readonly optional varargParameters: ParamDefs

Defined in: api_types.ts:569

Variable argument parameters, used if this formula should accept arbitrary numbers of inputs.

Inherited from

CommonPackFormulaDef.varargParameters
