PagerDuty Overview#

The PagerDuty API offers a powerful interface to automate your digital operations management. By leveraging its capabilities on Pipedream, you can create workflows that respond to incidents, automate alerts, and synchronize incident data across various platforms. PagerDuty's API enables you to manage services, teams, and incidents, ensuring that your systems remain operational and that the right people are notified at the right time.

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
PagerDuty	`pagerduty`	`app`	This component uses the PagerDuty app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Escalation Policies	`escalationPoliciesIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Interval to poll for new rotations	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The PagerDuty API doesn't support webhook notifications for on-call rotations, so we must poll the API to check for these changes. Change this interval according to your needs.

Trigger Authentication#

PagerDuty uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your PagerDuty account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into PagerDuty and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any PagerDuty API.

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

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.
