Frame.io Overview#

The Frame.io API hooks into their robust video collaboration platform, enabling automated workflows around video reviews, project updates, and asset management. With the API, you can programmatically interact with comments, accounts, projects, and more—perfect for integrating with other tools to streamline video production pipelines.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "frame-new-asset-instant",
  name: "New Asset (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when an asset is uploaded. [See the documentation](https://developer.frame.io/api/reference/operation/createWebhookForTeam/)",
  version: "0.1.0",
  type: "source",
  sampleEmit,
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary() {
      return "New Asset";
    },
    getHookData() {
      return [
        "asset.created",
      ];
    },
    async getResourceData(id) {
      return this.app.getAsset(id);
    },
  },
};

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
Frame.io	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Frame.io app.
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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Team ID	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Frame.io uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Frame.io account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Frame.io and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Frame.io API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

presentation.updatecomment.readasset.updatereviewlink.updatewebhook.createaccount.readaction.updatereviewlink.readpresentation.readaction.createpresentation.createauditlog.readteam.createcomment.createteam.readofflinereviewlink.deleteproject.updateproject.deletewebhook.deleteaction.deleteasset.deletewebhook.readasset.createcomment.deletewebhook.updateasset.readcomment.updateproject.readaction.readreviewlink.createpresentation.deleteproject.createteam.update

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.
