Vestaboard API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Vestaboard API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Vestaboard API allows you to control a networked, mechanical split-flap display, enabling you to automate the content it shows. By integrating with Pipedream, you can develop serverless workflows that respond to various triggers (like incoming webhooks, emails, or scheduled timers) and push updates to your Vestaboard. You can dynamically display information such as meeting reminders, real-time performance metrics, or custom messages based on events from other apps and services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
vestaboard: {
type: "app",
app: "vestaboard",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://platform.vestaboard.com/viewer`,
headers: {
"X-Vestaboard-Api-Key": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_key}`,
"X-Vestaboard-Api-Secret": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_secret}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Dynamic Performance Dashboard: Use the Vestaboard API on Pipedream to create a live dashboard that displays key business metrics. Connect to apps like Google Sheets or Salesforce, fetch the latest data, and send it to your Vestaboard to keep your team informed and motivated.
Meeting Room Schedule Display: Create a workflow that integrates with calendar services like Google Calendar or Office 365. Extract upcoming events and format the data to display meeting schedules on your Vestaboard in real-time, ensuring everyone knows when and where their next meeting is.
Slack-Powered Announcements: Set up a Pipedream workflow that listens for specific commands or messages in Slack. When a trigger phrase is detected, capture the message content and automatically update your Vestaboard with the latest announcements or alerts for your team to see.

Authentication#
Vestaboard uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Vestaboard account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Vestaboard APIs in both code and no-code steps.
To retrieve your API keys,
- Navigate to your Vestaboard account and sign in
- Go to “API” > “Installables”
- On one of your Installables, click on “DETAILS”
- Go to “API Credentials”
- Navigate to "API" > "Read/Write API"
- Click "Enabled" and copy your Read/Write API Key.
