Integrate the WebMerge API with the Data Stores API

WebMerge is an API that automates the creation of PDFs, Word documents, Excel files, and more, by merging data into custom-built templates. With Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create dynamic documents fueled by data from various sources. Think auto-generated reports from CRM leads, personalized contracts from form submissions, or automated invoices post-sale. Pipedream's serverless platform allows you to create intricate workflows that connect WebMerge with other apps, triggering document creation with real-time data.

Connect WebMerge#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    webmerge: {
      type: "app",
      app: "webmerge",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.webmerge.me/api/documents`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.webmerge.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: `${this.webmerge.$auth.api_secret}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
})
