Supabase Overview#

Supabase is a real-time backend-as-a-service that provides developers with a suite of tools to quickly build and scale their applications. It offers database storage, authentication, instant APIs, and real-time subscriptions. With the Supabase API, you can perform CRUD operations on your database, manage users, and listen to database changes in real time. When integrated with Pipedream, you can automate workflows that react to these database events, synchronize data across multiple services, or streamline user management processes.

Lob Overview#

The Lob API provides a suite of automation capabilities focused on direct mail, address verification, and print management. With Lob, you can automate the sending of physical mail programmatically, verify addresses to ensure deliverability, and manage printing logistics for marketing campaigns or operational needs. It's a powerful tool for bridging the digital and physical mailing worlds, particularly useful for marketing, billing, and compliance communications.

Action Authentication#

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

Enter your Live Lob secret API key below.

You can find this key under your account settings in the Lob dashboard.

Alternatively, you can use your Test Secret API Key, but you'll need to create a new Lob Connected Account in Pipedream in order to make Live requests.
