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
Salesforce	`salesforce`	`app`	This component uses the Salesforce 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.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The timer is only used as a fallback if instant event delivery (webhook) is not available.
Object Type	`objectType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Fields to Obtain	`fieldsToObtain`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

HTML/CSS to Image Overview#

The HTML/CSS to Image API lets you programmatically create images from HTML and CSS, which is perfect for generating custom graphics, charts, or even to convert web content for sharing on social media. On Pipedream, you can harness this API within a serverless workflow, triggering image generation from various events, managing the data flow, and integrating with countless other apps to create powerful automations.

      css,
    } = this;
    const result = await this.htmlCssToImageApp.createImageFromHTML($, html, css);
    $.export("$summary", "Successfully created an image");
    return result;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
HTML/CSS to Image	`htmlCssToImageApp`	`app`	This component uses the HTML/CSS to Image app.

Action Authentication#

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

The HCTI API uses HTTP Basic authentication using your user_id ID and api_key. Both of these are available from your dashboard.
