Example Use Cases#
Automated Website Monitoring: Trigger daily screenshots of your website's homepage. Use Pipedream to compare these snapshots to detect visual changes or downtime, and automatically alert your team via Slack or email if any significant alterations are found.
Client Reporting Automation: Generate weekly screenshots of a client's website performance dashboard. With Pipedream, connect GetScreenshot to a service like Dropbox or Google Drive to save these images, and then automatically compile them into a PDF report using a tool like PDF.co API. Email the report to the client with a pre-written summary of weekly performance.
Competitor Analysis Workflow: Schedule monthly screenshots of competitor websites and product pages. Pipedream can orchestrate a flow where these images are stored in a database, like Airtable, for easy comparison and trend analysis. Notify the marketing team with insights via a tool like Twilio SendGrid to inform strategic decisions.
Authentication#
GetScreenshot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your GetScreenshot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to GetScreenshot APIs in both code and no-code steps.
