Integrate the PostgreSQL API with the Twilio API

Setup the PostgreSQL API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Twilio API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate PostgreSQL and Twilio 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#

Twilio's API on Pipedream opens up a multitude of communication capabilities, allowing you to build robust, scalable, and automated workflows. With Twilio, you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages, make voice calls, and perform other communication functions programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's seamless integration, you can connect these communications features with hundreds of other services to automate notifications, streamline customer interactions, and enhance operational efficiency.

Connect Twilio#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    twilio: {
      type: "app",
      app: "twilio",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts.json`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.twilio.$auth.AccountSid}`,
        password: `${this.twilio.$auth.AuthToken}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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.
