WildApricot Overview#

The WildApricot API opens up a world of possibilities for managing your membership-driven organization efficiently by automating tasks and integrating with other services. With this API on Pipedream, you can craft workflows that manipulate member data, automate event creation and management, handle financial operations such as invoicing, and engage with members through tailored communication. Pipedream's serverless platform simplifies the process of setting up these automations with pre-built components and easy-to-use triggers and actions for the WildApricot API.

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
WildApricot	`wildapricot`	`app`	This component uses the WildApricot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

PostHog Overview#

The PostHog API lets you track events, update user properties, and extract analytics to understand user behavior within your applications. Integrating this API into Pipedream workflows allows you to automate actions based on event data, sync user properties across platforms, and trigger alerts or notifications.
