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
Telegram Bot	`telegramBotApi`	`app`	This component uses the Telegram Bot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

ExpoFP Overview#

The ExpoFP API enables developers to integrate floor plan management and interaction within their applications. With this API, you can access detailed information about exhibition spaces, including booth details, exhibitor information, and floor plan layouts. When you combine ExpoFP with Pipedream's serverless integration and compute platform, you can automate event management tasks, synchronize floor plan data with other systems, and enhance visitor engagement by connecting with CRM or marketing automation tools.
