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
actiTIME	`app`	`app`	This component uses the actiTIME 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#

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

actiTIME requires their users enter their actiTIME email and password in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to actiTIME’s documentation.

Pipedream recommends using a strong and unique password for your actiTIME account.

The HubSpot API enables developers to integrate into HubSpots CRM, CMS, Conversations, and other features.

Action Authentication#

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

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