Front Overview#

The Front API empowers you to automate the handling of your team's email inbox, collaborate on conversations, and streamline communication workflows. By harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can craft custom integrations that trigger actions in Front in response to events, synchronize data across platforms, and augment your team's productivity with automated tasks. This can include creating or updating conversations and contacts, managing tags, or firing off custom automation rules within Front.

Trigger Code#

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Code#

import typeform from "../../typeform.app.mjs";
import utils from "../utils.mjs";

const { reduceProperties } = utils;

export default {
  key: "typeform-create-form",

    typeform,
    title: {

        typeform,
        "title",
      ],
    },
    workspaceHref: {
      propDefinition: [
        typeform,
        "workspaceHref",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const initialProps = {
      title: this.title,
    };

    const additionalProps = {
      workspace: [
        {
          href: this.workspaceHref,
        },
        this.workspaceHref,
      ],
    };

    const data = reduceProperties({
      initialProps,
      additionalProps,
    });

    const resp = await this.typeform.createForm({
      $,
      data,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully created a new form, "${resp.title}"`);

    return resp;
