Eventzilla Overview#

The Eventzilla API allows you to seamlessly integrate your event management into a variety of workflows and systems. With the API, you can automate the retrieval of event details, participant data, and handle registrations programmatically. It’s ideal for syncing event information across platforms, streamlining communication with attendees, and enhancing marketing efforts through targeted campaigns and analytics.

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.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Pinterest API.

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