Teamwork Desk Overview#

The Teamwork Desk API provides the means to programmatically access and manipulate customer support ticket data. By integrating it with Pipedream, you can automate ticketing workflows, streamline customer interactions, and connect support data with other business tools. Whether syncing tickets to a CRM, setting up custom alerts, or generating reports, the API's capabilities allow for a variety of automations to enhance support operations.

  name: "New Customer Created",
  key: "teamwork_desk-customer-created",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event when a new customer is created.",

        ts: createdAt,

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
Teamwork Desk	`teamworkDesk`	`app`	This component uses the Teamwork Desk 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.
Inboxes	`inboxes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Data Stores Overview#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.
