Rebrandly Overview#

The Rebrandly API enables the creation, updating, and management of branded short links. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate custom URL shortening workflows, analyze link performance, and seamlessly integrate URL management into your business processes or applications.

Trigger Code#

import rebrandly from "../../rebrandly.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {

      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },

    emitEvent(data) {
      this._setLastLinkId(data.id);

      this.$emit(data, {

      if (links.length < 25) {
        return;
      }
    }
  },
};

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
Rebrandly	`rebrandly`	`app`	This component uses the Rebrandly app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Shopify Developer App Overview#

By creating a custom app on Shopify, you will be able to configure the exact scopes that you require to build the workflows that you need.

The Shopify Developer App API unleashes a myriad of possibilities to automate and enhance online store operations. It provides programmatic access to Shopify functionalities, allowing users to manage products, customers, orders, and more. Leveraging the API within Pipedream, developers can create custom workflows that automate repetitive tasks, sync data across platforms, and respond dynamically to events in Shopify.

Action Code#

import shopify from "../../shopify_developer_app.app.mjs";
import metaobjects from "../common/metaobjects.mjs";
import common from "../../../shopify/actions/create-metaobject/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...metaobjects,
  ...common,
  key: "shopify_developer_app-create-metaobject",
  name: "Create Metaobject",
  description: "Creates a metaobject. [See the documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/mutations/metaobjectCreate)",
  version: "0.0.5",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    shopify,
    type: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Type",
      description: "The Metaobject Type",
      async options() {
        const { data: { metaobjectDefinitions: { nodes } } }
          = await this.listMetaobjectDefinitions();
        return nodes?.map(({ type }) => type) || [];
      },
      reloadProps: true,
    },
  },
};

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
Shopify Developer App	`shopify`	`app`	This component uses the Shopify Developer App app.
Type	`type`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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