Wistia Overview#

The Wistia API lets you dive deep into video analytics, manage your media library, and automate video workflows. It's great for developers aiming to extend the functionality of their Wistia-hosted content. When used within Pipedream, you can integrate Wistia with countless other apps and services to create robust automations. You could, for instance, update a CRM with video view data, send custom email alerts based on viewer behavior, or even synchronize video uploads with a content management system.

Trigger Code#

import wistia from "../../wistia.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "New Visitor",
  version: "0.0.3",
  key: "wistia-new-visitor",
  description: "Emit new event for each visitor.",

  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    wistia,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  methods: {
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.visitor_key,
        summary: `New visitor with id ${data.visitor_key}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.created_at),
      });
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getVisitors({
        params: {
          per_page: 10,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let page = 0;

    while (page >= 0) {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getVisitors({
        params: {
          page,
          per_page: 100,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);

      if (medias.length < 100) {
        return;
      }

      page++;
    }
  },
};

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
Wistia	`wistia`	`app`	This component uses the Wistia app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Wistia uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Wistia account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Wistia APIs in both code and no-code steps.

When your Wistia account is created, a master token will automatically be generated for you account, which you can find in the API tab of your Account Settings in your Wistia account. This master token has full read/write permissions on your account. You can generate additional access tokens with various permissions as well.

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
