SurveyCTO Overview#

The SurveyCTO API enables automated interactions with SurveyCTO services, a platform focusing on data collection and organization for research and survey projects. With this API, you can seamlessly retrieve, push, and manage survey data. Integrating SurveyCTO with Pipedream opens a realm of possibilities for automating data workflows, such as triggering actions based on new survey submissions, syncing collected data with other databases or apps, or even automating reports and notifications.

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate.
