EspoCRM Overview#

The EspoCRM API allows for robust interaction with your CRM data, enabling the automation of tasks, syncing data across platforms, and the enhancement of customer relationship management through customized workflows. By leveraging this API within Pipedream, you can design serverless workflows that react to CRM events, integrate with other services, and manipulate data to fit your business processes. Pipedream's no-code platform makes it straightforward to create, execute, and maintain these workflows, allowing you to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.

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
EspoCRM	`espoCrm`	`app`	This component uses the EspoCRM 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.
Entity Type	`entityType`	`string`	The entity type to watch. The list of available entity types can be obtained at Administration > Entity Manager.
Event Type	`eventType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`createupdatedelete`
Field	`field`	`string`	Watch for changes to a specific field. The list of available fields can be obtained at Administration > Entity Manager > fields.

Trigger Authentication#

EspoCRM uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your EspoCRM account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to EspoCRM APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
