Overview of Twilio#

Twilio's API on Pipedream opens up a multitude of communication capabilities, allowing you to build robust, scalable, and automated workflows. With Twilio, you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages, make voice calls, and perform other communication functions programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's seamless integration, you can connect these communications features with hundreds of other services to automate notifications, streamline customer interactions, and enhance operational efficiency.

Connect Twilio#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    twilio: {
      type: "app",
      app: "twilio",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts.json`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.twilio.$auth.AccountSid}`,
        password: `${this.twilio.$auth.AuthToken}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Filter#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Connect Filter#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    let condition = false
    if (condition == false) {
      $.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
    } else {
        $.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
    }
  },
})

How Our Family Uses SMS and Smart Picture Frames to Connect During Remote Holidays

Two days before Thanksgiving, I decided to put together a simple way for our family to share pictures, because we couldn’t be together in person. The idea: smart photo frames that everyone could text pictures to. Here’s how I got it working. tldr; A Pipedream workflow parses SMS messages sent to a Twilio phone number, extracting the pictures and then using SendGrid to email them to the dedicated email addresses used by our Pix-Star photo frames.
