Pushcut Overview#

The Pushcut API enables the automation of iOS notifications with custom actions, triggering events based on various conditions. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create intricate workflows, combining Pushcut notifications with a multitude of services to act based on data from APIs, schedules, or other apps. Think of Pushcut as a bridge between the real world and your digital tasks, letting you know when to act and offering shortcuts to execute specific automations directly from your iOS devices.

Trigger Code#

import pushcut from "../../pushcut.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "pushcut-action-created",

      this.$emit(action, meta);
    }
  },

Salesforce Overview#

The Salesforce (REST API) provides a powerful platform for creating and managing customer relationships with a wide array of features like data manipulation, querying, and complex automation. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can create workflows that automate your sales processes, sync data with other platforms, enhance customer engagement, and trigger actions based on specific events. Dive into Salesforce data, streamline lead management, track customer interactions, and push or pull data to or from Salesforce seamlessly.
