Introduction to Pipedream

Pipedream is the fastest way to automate any process that connects APIs. Build and run workflows with code-level control when you need it, and no code when you don’t.

The Pipedream platform includes:

• A serverless runtime and workflow service
• Source-available triggers and actions for hundreds of integrated apps
• One-click OAuth and key-based authentication for more than 2,400 APIs (use tokens directly in code or with pre-built actions)

Source-available

Use components as no code building blocks in workflows, or use them to scaffold code that you can customize. You can also create a PR to contribute new components via GitHub.
