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: "devin-create-session",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
devin: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
prompt: "Prompt",
snapshotId: "Snapshot ID",
},
})
