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
Mercury	`mercury`	`app`	This component uses the Mercury app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Account	`account`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

In order to get Mercury's API key, log into your Mercury account and go to the Settings page to generate a new one.
