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.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Parma API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
