Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Dock Certs Overview#

The Dock Certs API provides a means for issuing verifiable credentials and decentralized identities, which are essential for managing digital proofs of various qualifications, memberships, or certifications. Using Pipedream's integration capabilities, you can automate the process of creating, revoking, and verifying these credentials. With Pipedream's serverless architecture, you can set up triggers and actions that respond to events in real-time, orchestrate data flow between Dock Certs and other services, and manage credentials with minimal manual intervention.

ConvertAPI Overview#

ConvertAPI is a powerhouse for online file conversion, enabling you to transform files from one format to another effortlessly. It supports a plethora of file types, from common ones like PDFs and DOCs to more obscure formats. With ConvertAPI on Pipedream, you can automate file conversion tasks, seamlessly integrating them into workflows that trigger on events from other apps or schedules. Imagine converting incoming email attachments, processing uploaded documents, or archiving files in a different format—all happening automatically, in the background.
