Laposta Overview#

Laposta is a robust email marketing tool, empowering users to build, send, and analyze email campaigns with ease. Leveraging the Laposta API on Pipedream, you can automate email list management, subscriber data synchronization, and campaign performance tracking. The API enables developers to create dynamic, serverless workflows that react to events across various apps, enrich contact information, or even trigger custom email sequences based on user behavior or other external cues.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Relation Created (Instant)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "laposta-new-relation-created",
  description: "Emit new event on each created relation. [See docs here (Go to `Add webhook`)](http://api.laposta.nl/doc/)",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookEventType() {
      return "subscribed";
    },
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.member_id,
        summary: `New relation created with id ${data.member_id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.signup_date),
      });
    },
  },
};

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
Laposta	`laposta`	`app`	This component uses the Laposta app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
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.
List ID	`listId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API keys,

Navigate to your Laposta account and sign in

Metabase Overview#

The Metabase API opens a gateway to interact with Metabase programmatically, enabling you to automate reporting, dashboards, and data analysis operations. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to trigger workflows, manipulate data, and integrate with various other apps to create a seamless data ecosystem. Think of syncing Metabase insights with other tools, automating report generation, or reacting to events within your Metabase instance in real-time.
