@benedictevans If you haven’t used @pipedream yet, then you haven’t lived.

Evaluation update: @pipedream has quite literally been a dream to work with! I’m excited to leverage this tool for all the various workflows I need to write. I’m currently at 11k invocations a day from the initial workflows I’ve written in the past couple weeks.

Update: I got it working properly, and it's working so well that I'm dropping IFTTT. @pipedream can do everything that IFTTT basic can, and most (if not all things) IFTTT pro can for free or at a reasonable price if you need it. I am recommending it for basically any power user.

Want quick+dirty integrations for a serverless workflow - @pipedream is my new go-to 😃

day 013 - finally hit node js. This is the secret sauce of taking #nocode projects that one step further. Pumped about getting deeper into @pipedream now

Awesome video by the @pipedream folks showing real time twitter sentiment analysis integrated with Google Sheets. This is where Pipedream *really* shines, connecting systems together in easy workflows.

I couldn't recommend @pipedream more. It's an amazing service to integrate different APIs. Much more powerful than Zapier and more user-friendly than AWS Lambda. I'm very proud to wear this t-shirt #NoCode

Developed a working prototype environmental sensor IoT solution with @particle Photon, @pipedream, and @MongoDB with full graphing and alerting in less than a day! All amazing technology, will def. be exploring these more.

@burgwyn you've inspired me to finally set up my own blog. I'll make sure my first blog post explains the tech behind the setup. think @obsdmd + @GatsbyJS + @pipedream.

GitHub issues should be like @linear_app for maintainers. Looking forward more integrations with GH actions or tools like @pipedream 👀

If you're a dev and not using @pipedream, you're missing out. Been using it for months, daily. FREE for devs. Plenty of integrations and good limits. Absolutely love it.

So @pipedream is pretty amazing. In 3 minutes I just made a flow which adds @rickastley's Never Gonna Give You Up to my @spotify playlist whenever a new pull request arrives in an old repo of mine.

Um, wow 🤯 @pipedream

I just used @pipedream to build a Shopify App. Wow, they make small backed tasks easy.

Very impressed with this bad boi - it reminds me of a @PalantirTech internal tool, but geared towards integrations instead of data analysis and far more customizable. Great expectations here 🚀🤩

For context this is day 2 of a really challenging and stupid migration from Notion to @airtable with disparate/missing data. It's going better than expected and thanks to @pipedream I don't have to bother the iOS dev to add W3W.
