Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
BaseLinker	`app`	`app`	This component uses the BaseLinker app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

BaseLinker uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your BaseLinker account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to BaseLinker APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Postman Overview#

The Postman API enables you to automate tasks within your Postman collections, such as running collections, fetching and updating environments, and integrating your API development workflow into your CI/CD pipeline. Using Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create custom workflows that trigger on various events, process data, and connect with other apps, extending the capabilities of your API testing and development processes.
