Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

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
Tuya	`tuya`	`app`	This component uses the Tuya app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
User ID	`userId`	`string`	The unique identifier of a user. E.g. `az1748632127862aWriL`
Device Parameter	`deviceParameter`	`string`	The device parameter to watch for updates. E.g. `switch_1`
Home ID	`homeId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API Credentials "Access ID/Client ID" and "Access Secret/Client Secret",

Navigate to your Tuya account and sign in
Go to “Cloud” > “Project Management”
Select one of your projects, or create a new one.
From the list of your projects, click "Open project" on the rightmost column.
Your API Credentials are displayed in the "Overview" tab.

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Code#

import typeform from "../../typeform.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "typeform-create-image",

      label: "Base64 image",
      description: "Base64 code for the image. Note that base64 encoders may add descriptors to the code (such as `data:image/png;base64,`). Do not include these descriptors in your image string---include only the base64 code. We also recommend that you don't paste the exact string value into this property box. Instead you can [pass an expression](https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/params/#entering-expressions) that references a variable from a previous step such as `{{steps.nodejs.$return_value}}`.",

Image's URL	`url`	`string`	URL of the image to be added in your Typeform account

Action Authentication#

Typeform uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Typeform account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Typeform and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Typeform API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
