Integrate the PostgreSQL API with the Twilio SendGrid API

Setup the PostgreSQL API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Twilio SendGrid API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate PostgreSQL and Twilio SendGrid remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of PostgreSQL#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Connect PostgreSQL#

import postgresql from "@pipedream/postgresql"

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    postgresql,
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Component source code:
    // https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/tree/master/components/postgresql

    const queryObj = {
      text: "SELECT NOW()",
      values: [], // Ignored since query does not contain placeholders
    };
    const { rows } = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(queryObj);
    return rows;
  },
})

Overview of Twilio SendGrid#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

Connect Twilio SendGrid#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    sendgrid: {
      type: "app",
      app: "sendgrid",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/user/account`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.sendgrid.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

How Our Family Uses SMS and Smart Picture Frames to Connect During Remote Holidays

Two days before Thanksgiving, I decided to put together a simple way for our family to share pictures, because we couldn’t be together in person. The idea: smart photo frames that everyone could text pictures to. Here’s how I got it working. tldr; A Pipedream workflow parses SMS messages sent to a Twilio phone number, extracting the pictures and then using SendGrid to email them to the dedicated email addresses used by our Pix-Star photo frames.
