Kontent.ai Overview#

The Kontent.ai API offers robust content management capabilities for developers to manage and deliver content across various platforms. With this API, you can automate content creation, update content items, retrieve assets, and sync your content with other services. On Pipedream, you can harness these features to create powerful workflows that trigger on specific events, process data, and connect with other apps to streamline your content operations.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "kontent_ai-content-item-unpublished",
  name: "New Content Item Unpublished (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a content item is unpublished.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookName(uuid) {
      return `content-item-unpublished-${uuid}`;
    },
    getTriggers() {
      return {
        delivery_api_content_changes: [
          {
            type: "content_item_variant",
            operations: [
              "unpublish",
            ],
          },
        ],
      };
    },
    getSummary(id) {
      return `The content item with Id: ${id} was unpublished!`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Kontent.ai	`kontentAi`	`app`	This component uses the Kontent.ai 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.

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds.
