This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Asset (Instant) on Frame.io

Description:Emit new event when an asset is uploaded. [See the documentation](https://developer.frame.io/api/reference/operation/createWebhookForTeam/)

Frame.io Overview#

The Frame.io API hooks into their robust video collaboration platform, enabling automated workflows around video reviews, project updates, and asset management. With the API, you can programmatically interact with comments, accounts, projects, and more—perfect for integrating with other tools to streamline video production pipelines.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "frame-new-asset-instant",
  name: "New Asset (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when an asset is uploaded. [See the documentation](https://developer.frame.io/api/reference/operation/createWebhookForTeam/)",
  version: "0.1.0",
  type: "source",
  sampleEmit,
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary() {
      return "New Asset";
    },
    getHookData() {
      return [
        "asset.created",
      ];
    },
    async getResourceData(id) {
      return this.app.getAsset(id);
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Frame.io	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Frame.io app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Team ID	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Frame.io uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Frame.io account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Frame.io and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Frame.io API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

presentation.updatecomment.readasset.updatereviewlink.updatewebhook.createaccount.readaction.updatereviewlink.readpresentation.readaction.createpresentation.createauditlog.readteam.createcomment.createteam.readofflinereviewlink.deleteproject.updateproject.deletewebhook.deleteaction.deleteasset.deletewebhook.readasset.createcomment.deletewebhook.updateasset.readcomment.updateproject.readaction.readreviewlink.createpresentation.deleteproject.createteam.update

Action Authentication#

Twilio uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Twilio account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Twilio APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To connect your Twilio account to Pipedream,

API Key and API Key SID

First, create an API key in Twilio.

There are three types of keys: Main, Standard, and Restricted. You'll need a Main key to interact with certain API endpoints, like /Accounts.
If you don't need to interact with those endpoints, you can use a Standard or Restricted key.

After creating your key, you'll see fields for Sid and Secret. Enter those in the fields below.

Account SID and Auth Token

Visit your Twilio Dashboard. You'll see your Account SID and Auth Token under Account info.

About Twilio#
