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
Hippo Video	`hippoVideo`	`app`	This component uses the Hippo Video 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.
Event Ids	`eventIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "value": "3", "label": "Viewing Sessions" }{ "value": "1", "label": "Video Created" }{ "value": "4", "label": "CTA Lead Genaration" }{ "value": "5", "label": "CTA Annotations" }{ "value": "6", "label": "CT" }{ "value": "18", "label": "Video Transcode" }`

Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
