Locate the International Space Station

Overview

Pipedream allows users to trigger a workflow via an HTTP request.

When you create a new HTTP / Webhook source, we create a URL endpoint specific to your workflow.

While we call the source "Webhook", it's technically a general HTTP source. You can send any HTTP requests to this endpoint, from anywhere on the web.

You can configure the endpoint as the destination URL for a webhook or send HTTP traffic from your application - we'll accept any valid HTTP request.

Quickstart

  • Fork this pipeline or click the "FORK" button above
  • This will generate a new workflow in your account with a Webhook source (and a URL endpoint specific to your workflow)
  • Click SEND TEST EVENT which will trigger the scripts in your workflow
  • Select the event in the inspector and you will see observability at each step in the workflow

Usage Tips

  • All pipeline code on Pipedream is public, all event data is private.
  • Pipeline code is run for every event sent to your source.
  • Send data to S3, HTTP out using destinations.
  • The event data sent to your source is accessible in the $event object — you can add, update, or delete any properties of this object in your code.
  • Most of NPM’s 400,000 packages are available for use — just require() them.
  • Using API keys or other sensitive data in your code? Create an environment variable and access it in code using process.env.KEY_NAME.
  • Need to reject certain events sent to your pipeline, or end a pipeline early? Use $end().
  • You need to await the execution of async code with Promises, using async / awaitlearn more here.
