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.
I, too, am excited about Pipedream.
