Overview of Lob#

The Lob API provides a suite of automation capabilities focused on direct mail, address verification, and print management. With Lob, you can automate the sending of physical mail programmatically, verify addresses to ensure deliverability, and manage printing logistics for marketing campaigns or operational needs. It's a powerful tool for bridging the digital and physical mailing worlds, particularly useful for marketing, billing, and compliance communications.

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
