Overview of CiviCRM#

The CiviCRM API allows interaction with the CiviCRM ecosystem, enabling you to manage contacts, contributions, events, memberships, and more directly via Pipedream. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create workflows that automate tasks, sync data across apps, and respond to webhooks. Using Pipedream, you can harness the CiviCRM API to craft custom integrations that trigger actions within CiviCRM or sync data with other tools, without managing infrastructure.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    civicrm: {
      type: "app",
      app: "civicrm",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const base64 = Buffer.from(this.civicrm.$auth.username+":"+this.civicrm.$auth.password).toString('base64');
    return await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: `https://${this.civicrm.$auth.url}/civicrm/ajax/api4/Contact/get`,
      headers: {
        "X-Civi-Auth": `Basic ${base64}`,
      },
    })
  },

Overview of Amazon SES#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
