Parent Pipelines

In Kondado, Parent Pipelines are the types of Pipelines that can be created from each type of source.

They should not be confused with Pipelines themselves, since Parent Pipelines represent the step prior to creating a Pipeline — every Pipeline has an associated Pipeline type (Parent Pipeline).

List Available Pipeline Types for Creation

Description

Lists the available Pipeline types for a given source type (Parent Collection) that the token user is allowed to create.

This endpoint requires the source type ID (parent_collection_id), which can be obtained through the Parent Collections endpoint.

Method

GET

Endpoint

/parent_collections/src/:parent_collection_id/parent_pipelines

URL Parameters

None

Response Description

The response will contain data from the Parent Collection (id and parent_collection_name) and an array of JSON objects representing the Parent Pipelines found, with the following fields:

id

Parent Pipeline ID

createdAt

Record creation date

updatedAt

Record last update date

parent_pipeline_name

Pipeline type name

is_billable

Indicates whether this Pipeline type is billable or free

List Parent Pipelines via API

Use Kondado's API to discover available Pipeline types for a given source before creating a new Pipeline.

1
Obtain the Parent Collection ID

First, call the Parent Collections endpoint to retrieve the source type ID (parent_collection_id) for your desired source, such as ClickUp or any other data integration connector.

2
Call the Parent Pipelines endpoint

Make a GET request to /parent_collections/src/:parent_collection_id/parent_pipelines, replacing the parameter with your source type ID obtained in the previous step.

3
Parse the response data

Extract the parent_pipelines array from the JSON response. Each object contains the parent_pipeline_name (e.g., Tasks, Folders, Spaces), id, and is_billable flag indicating whether the Pipeline type is free or billable.

4
Select your Pipeline type

Review the available Pipeline types and note the id of your chosen Parent Pipeline. Use this ID when creating your actual Pipeline through the API or Kondado platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Parent Pipeline and a Pipeline?▼
A Parent Pipeline represents the type or template of Pipeline that can be created from a specific source, while a Pipeline is the actual configured data flow. Every Pipeline has an associated Parent Pipeline type that defines what data it can extract, such as Tasks or Spaces from ClickUp.
How do I find the parent_collection_id needed for this endpoint?▼
You must first call the Parent Collections endpoint to list available source types and obtain their IDs. This is a prerequisite step before you can query Parent Pipelines for any specific source.
What does the is_billable field indicate in the response?▼
The is_billable boolean field indicates whether creating a Pipeline of that type will incur charges on your account (true) or is available for free (false). Review this flag when planning your pricing and usage.
Can I create a Pipeline directly from the Parent Pipeline ID?▼
No, the Parent Pipeline ID identifies the type of Pipeline available for creation. You use this ID as a reference when creating the actual Pipeline, but the Parent Pipeline itself is not a runnable data flow—it is the template that defines what data structure you can extract.
What information is included in the Parent Pipelines response?▼
The response includes the Parent Collection details (id and parent_collection_name) plus an array of Parent Pipeline objects, each containing: id, createdAt, updatedAt, parent_pipeline_name, and is_billable status.
