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.

Connect Lob#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    lob: {
      type: "app",
      app: "lob",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.lob.com/v1/addresses`,
      auth: {
        username: this.lob.$auth.secret_api_key,
        password: ''
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
