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
Transistor.fm	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Transistor.fm 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.
Show ID	`showId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Name	`eventName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`episode_createdepisode_publishedsubscriber_createdsubscriber_deleted`

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Transistor.fm account and sign in
Go to “Your Account” > “API Access”

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.
