Twilio SendGrid Overview#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
OpenAI (ChatGPT)	`openai`	`app`	This component uses the OpenAI (ChatGPT) app.
Model	`modelId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
User Message	`userMessage`	`string`	The user messages provide instructions to the assistant. They can be generated by the end users of an application, or set by a developer as an instruction.
Max Tokens	`maxTokens`	`integer`	The maximum number of tokens to generate in the completion.
Temperature	`temperature`	`string`	Optional. What sampling temperature to use. Higher values means the model will take more risks. Try 0.9 for more creative applications, and 0 (argmax sampling) for ones with a well-defined answer.
Top P	`topP`	`string`	An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered. We generally recommend altering this or `temperature` but not both.
N	`n`	`integer`	How many completions to generate for each prompt
Stop	`stop`	`string[]`	Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens. The returned text will not contain the stop sequence.
Presence Penalty	`presencePenalty`	`string`	Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.
Frequency Penalty	`frequencyPenalty`	`string`	Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
User	`user`	`string`	A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. Learn more here.
System Instructions	`systemInstructions`	`string`	The system message helps set the behavior of the assistant. For example: "You are a helpful assistant." See these docs for tips on writing good instructions.
Prior Message History	`messages`	`string[]`	Advanced. Because the models have no memory of past chat requests, all relevant information must be supplied via the conversation. You can provide an array of messages from prior conversations here. If this param is set, the action ignores the values passed to System Instructions and Assistant Response, appends the new User Message to the end of this array, and sends it to the API.
Images	`images`	`string[]`	Provide one or more images to OpenAI's vision model. Accepts URLs or base64 encoded strings. Compatible with the `gpt4-vision-preview` model
Audio	`audio`	`string`	Provide the file path to an audio file in the `/tmp` directory. For use with the `gpt-4o-audio-preview` model. Currently supports `wav` and `mp3` files.
Response Format	`responseFormat`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Text", "value": "text" }{ "label": "JSON Object", "value": "json_object" }{ "label": "JSON Schema", "value": "json_schema" }`
Tool Types	`toolTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`function`
