Integrate the Blink API with the Data Stores API

The Blink API allows you to access and manage data within the Blink platform, a hub for team communication and content sharing. Through Pipedream, you can automate workflows that leverage this API to streamline notifications, content distribution, and team interactions. You can create actions that respond to specific triggers, like new messages or updates to content, and connect Blink with other apps to enrich the functionality of your workflows.

Connect Blink#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    blink: {
      type: "app",
      app: "blink",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.joinblink.com/v2/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.blink.$auth.token}`,
        "Accept": `application/json`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
})
