Google My Business Overview#

The Google My Business API enables businesses to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. Through Pipedream, you can automate various aspects of your Google My Business account, such as reading and responding to customer reviews, updating business information, and posting new content. This API provides a powerful way to engage with customers and maintain accurate, up-to-date business listings, all through programmable interactions that can save time and enhance visibility.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google My Business	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Google My Business app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

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";

export default {
  key: "typeform-create-image",
  name: "Create an Image",
  description: "Adds an image in your Typeform account. [See the docs here](https://developer.typeform.com/create/reference/create-image/)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.2",
  props: {

    },
    image: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Base64 image",
      description: "Base64 code for the image. Note that base64 encoders may add descriptors to the code (such as `data:image/png;base64,`). Do not include these descriptors in your image string---include only the base64 code. We also recommend that you don't paste the exact string value into this property box. Instead you can [pass an expression](https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/params/#entering-expressions) that references a variable from a previous step such as `{{steps.nodejs.$return_value}}`.",
      optional: true,
    },
    url: {

      label: "Image's URL",
