Katrina Bishop : Does anyone know how to send a pixel from Pipe Dream to a specific URL in Ringba?

2

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Hi , do you have any Ringba API docs on pixels you can share with me? I’d like to see what you’re looking at so I can give you a good answer

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Actually I see your email now with that URL

4

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Please try this:

  1. In your workflow, click the + button to add a new step to your workflow
  2. Choose the HTTP / Webhook Request action from the right
  3. Enter the URL there. This will make an HTTP GET request by default, but you can change the HTTP method or add any other details
    Let me know if that helps.

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : That’s asking you to select a trigger for your workflow. When do you want to run your workflow? That is, what app / event triggers it?

7

Katrina Bishop : I deleted the workflow that was there because it said there was a global error. I am not sure what to this is my first time setting this up.

8

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : You can add a new workflow at https://pipedream.com/new . When you’re asked to select your trigger, you’ll see those options again. This lets you run your workflow on new tweets, new files uploaded to Google Drive, HTTP requests and more.

Then you’ll want to go through the steps I noted above to add another step to your workflow, which will let you send an HTTP request to Ringba

Katrina Bishop : So where would I put their URL

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : For a moment forget about Ringba. You’ll want to enter that URL in the next step, but this first step is independent of sending the pixel to Ringba.

The core question here is: when do you want to send the request to Ringba? For example, do you want to run it manually only when you need? Or are you adding these pixel URLs to a Google sheet, and you want to trigger the workflow every time a new row is added? What’s the action that triggers your workflow?

11

Katrina Bishop : I want to send the request to Ringba ASAP. I want the workflow to run automatically, and as easy as possible.

12

Katrina Bishop : Data coming from Hubspot will flow to Pipe dream and then pipedream will send data to Ringba

13

Katrina Bishop : The app/event that will trigger it is HubSpot

14

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Great thanks. In that trigger step, if you search for Hubspot in the search box, we provide a few triggers for different events. Do we support the event you need?

Katrina Bishop : Is the screen shot you just sent in Hubspot or Pipe Dream?

16

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : In Pipedream. When you visit https://pipedream.com/new, the step at the top defines your trigger. Since it sounds like you want to fire the Ringba pixel on Hubspot events, you’ll want to search for Hubspot in the trigger menu, and you’ll see the screenshot I showed above.

17

Katrina Bishop : Yes! I see it and when I put in hubspot this is the screen that appears:

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Great, so now you’ll want to generate the event you chose (e.g. if you chose Contact Updated, you’ll want to update a contact). Then refresh the page and you should see a test event appear in that menu. That allows you to test the workflow.

Then follow these steps to send the pixel to Ringba

Katrina Bishop : Yes that helps and I have sent the request
