Connect a user's AWS account once, then configure and run DynamoDB - Get Item from your backend or agent.

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "aws-dynamodb-get-item",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
aws: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
region: "AWS Region",
tableName: "Table Name",
