Overview#
The Vend API offers programmatic access to retail management features, enabling users to automate processes related to inventory, sales, products, customers, and more within their retail business. Through Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger on various events within Vend, process data, integrate with other apps, and automate actions to streamline retail operations, enhance customer engagement, and optimize sales strategies.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
vend: {
type: "app",
app: "vend",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://${this.vend.$auth.domain_prefix}.vendhq.com/api/2.0/security_events`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.vend.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Example Use Cases#
Real-time Inventory Updates to Google Sheets: Track inventory levels by connecting Vend to Google Sheets via Pipedream. Whenever a sale is made or new stock is added in Vend, trigger a workflow to update the corresponding Google Sheet in real-time, ensuring inventory records are always current without manual intervention.
Customer Follow-Up Emails with SendGrid: After a purchase is completed in Vend, use Pipedream to trigger a workflow that sends a personalized follow-up email via SendGrid. This can include a thank you message, product care tips, or requests for feedback, enhancing post-purchase customer engagement.
Slack Notifications for Low Stock Alerts: Set up a workflow on Pipedream that monitors Vend for low stock levels and automatically sends an alert to a designated Slack channel. This enables quick restocking decisions, preventing potential sales loss due to unavailability of popular items.

When you connect your Vend account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Vend and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account.
