Overview of Dispatch#

The Dispatch API provides a powerful mechanism to streamline logistics and delivery operations. By leveraging it through Pipedream, businesses can automate the scheduling and tracking of dispatches, facilitating real-time coordination between dispatchers, drivers, and customers. This can lead to more efficient route planning, faster delivery times, and improved communication, all of which contribute to a better overall experience for both the provider and the end-user.

Connect Dispatch#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    dispatch: {
      type: "app",
      app: "dispatch",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://app.dispatchit.com/api/external/v1/organizations`,
      headers: {
        "Accept": `*/*`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      auth: {
        username: `${this.dispatch.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: `${this.dispatch.$auth.api_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
