Overview of Placid#

The Placid API lets you automate the creation of visual content such as images and videos. With Pipedream, you can trigger workflows using various events, process data, and use the Placid API to dynamically generate marketing materials, social media graphics, personalized images for email campaigns, and more. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate Placid with other apps to create robust, multi-step automations without writing extensive code.

Connect Placid#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    placid: {
      type: "app",
      app: "placid",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.placid.app/api/rest/templates`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.placid.$auth.api_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Filter#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Connect Filter#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    let condition = false
    if (condition == false) {
      $.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
    } else {
        $.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
    }
  },
})
