Overview of Shotstack#

The Shotstack API is a video editing platform that allows you to automate the creation and production of videos. With it, you can edit clips, add transitions, overlays, and backgrounds, and even include music in your videos. Integrating Shotstack with Pipedream can supercharge your workflow by automating the video creation process. You can trigger video edits in response to various events, manage assets, or even kick off rendering jobs based on data from other apps and services.

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
