Exact Overview#

The Exact API provides a suite of endpoints for interacting with Exact's cloud-based financial software, which includes tools for accounting, CRM, and ERP functionalities. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate data flows across various business functions, sync financial records, manage customer relationships, and streamline operational processes. Pipedream's serverless execution model allows for crafting intricate workflows that respond in real-time to events, schedule operations, and connect with countless other apps to extend the functionality of Exact's ecosystem.

Short.io Overview#

Short.io provides a robust API for URL shortening, allowing you to create, delete, and track shortened links programmatically. By integrating with Pipedream, you can automate link creation or aggregation of click data in real-time, triggering workflows in response to events like link clicks or creating short links in bulk from a data source.

    shortLink: {
      propDefinition: [
        shortApp,

      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const url = new URL(this.shortLink);
    const domain = url.host;
    const path = url.pathname.split("/").join("");
    const linkInfo = await this.shortApp.getLinkInfo(domain, path);
