Overview#

IdealPostcodes API provides access to UK address data, enabling applications to perform address lookups, validation, and auto-completion. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows that require accurate UK postal address information. This integration simplifies customer onboarding, ensures data accuracy for shipping, and enhances user experience with auto-filled address fields.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    idealpostcodes: {
      type: "app",
      app: "idealpostcodes",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.ideal-postcodes.co.uk/v1/keys/${this.idealpostcodes.$auth.api_key}/details`,
      params: {
        user_token: `${this.idealpostcodes.$auth.user_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Customer Onboarding Automation: When a new customer signs up on your e-commerce platform, trigger a Pipedream workflow that uses IdealPostcodes to validate their shipping address. The validated address can then be stored in your CRM, like Salesforce, ensuring that all customer data is accurate and deliveries are sent to the right location.
Scheduled Address Data Sync: Set up a Pipedream workflow that runs at regular intervals to validate and update the addresses of all your customers in a database, like Airtable. This helps maintain clean and accurate data for marketing campaigns and customer communication, reducing bounce rates and improving engagement.
Dynamic Address Auto-Completion: Implement an auto-complete feature on your web forms using IdealPostcodes. When a user begins typing an address, trigger a Pipedream workflow that queries the API for address suggestions and dynamically populates the form options. This can be integrated with web services like Shopify, enhancing the checkout process and reducing cart abandonment.
