RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

TidyCal Overview#

The TidyCal API allows for scheduling automation, linking your calendar to create and manage bookings. In Pipedream, you can harness this API to create event-driven workflows, such as syncing with other calendar services, triggering reminders, or connecting with CRM systems to streamline your scheduling process. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to build and run these workflows efficiently, without the need to manage infrastructure.

Action Code#

import app from "../../tidycal.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "tidycal-account-information",
  name: "Account Information",
  description: "Get account details. [See the documentation](https://tidycal.com/developer/docs/#tag/Account/operation/get-account)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.1",
  props: {
    app,
  },
  methods: {
    getAccountInformation(args = {}) {
      return this.app.makeRequest({
        path: "/me",
        ...args,
      });
    },
  },
  async run({ $: step }) {
    const response = await this.getAccountInformation();

    step.export("$summary", `Successfully retrieved account information for ${response.email}.`);

    return response;
  },
};
