Short.io Overview#

Short.io provides a robust API for URL shortening, allowing you to create, delete, and track shortened links programmatically. By integrating with Pipedream, you can automate link creation or aggregation of click data in real-time, triggering workflows in response to events like link clicks or creating short links in bulk from a data source.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  key: "short-new-link-created",
  name: "New Link Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a link is created.",
  version: "0.0.4",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    shortApp,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      label: "Watching timer",
      description: "How often to watch the links.",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
    domainId: {
      propDefinition: [
        shortApp,
        "domainId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    emit(meta) {
      const ts = Date.parse(meta.createdAt);
      this.$emit(meta, {
        id: meta.idString,
        summary: meta.secureShortURL,
        ts,
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const links = await this.shortApp.listLinks(this.domainId);
    for (const link of links) {
      this.emit(link);
    }
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Short.io	`shortApp`	`app`	This component uses the Short.io app.
Watching timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to watch the links.
Domain Id	`domainId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Short.io uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Short.io account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Short.io APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Twilio SendGrid Overview#

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.
