Plaid Overview#

The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "plaid-new-event-instant",
  name: "New Event (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when there are changes to Plaid Items or the status of asynchronous processes. [See the documentation](https://plaid.com/docs/api/webhooks/).",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(resource) {
      const ts = Date.now();
      return {
        id: ts,
        summary: `New Event: ${resource.webhook_type}.${resource.webhook_code}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Plaid	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Plaid 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.

Pinterest Overview#

The Pinterest API opens a portal to interact programmatically with Pinterest's rich data, including boards, pins, and user information. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate actions like posting new pins, extracting pin data for analysis, and synchronizing Pinterest content with other platforms. The potential extends to marketing optimization, content management, and audience engagement, all automated and integrated within the Pipedream ecosystem.
