By leveraging the Tolstoy API on Pipedream, you can create powerful automations that react to video interactions, manage leads, and trigger personalized follow-ups based on viewer behavior. This supports a more dynamic and responsive marketing strategy, improves lead qualification processes, and enhances customer support by providing interactive video experiences tailored to user actions and feedback.

        },
        emitEvent(data) {
            this.$emit(data, {
                id: data.sessionId,
                summary: `New lead with id ${data.sessionId}`,
                ts: Date.parse(data.timestamp),
            });
        },
    },
});

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
Tolstoy	`tolstoy`	`app`	This component uses the Tolstoy 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#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Tolstoy account and sign in

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.
