Integrate the Readwise API with the Twilio SendGrid API

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

Overview of Readwise#

The Readwise API allows you to access and manipulate your Readwise data, which includes highlights, notes, and books from your reading list. With this API, you can automate the retrieval of your reading highlights, synchronize them across various platforms, or trigger custom actions based on new highlights added. Pipedream, as a serverless integration and compute platform, enables you to create workflows that leverage the Readwise API to build powerful automations, connecting your reading insights to countless other apps and services to enrich productivity and data management.

Connect Readwise#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    readwise: {
      type: "app",
      app: "readwise",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://readwise.io/api/v2/books/`,
      headers: {
        "Authorization": `Token ${this.readwise.$auth.access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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}`,
      },

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.
