  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "linkupapi-connect-account",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    linkupapi: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },

    email: "Email",
  },
})

console.log(result)
