Mailgun Overview#

The Mailgun API on Pipedream is a potent tool for automating email operations without the overhead of managing a full-fledged email server. It offers capabilities to send, receive, track, and store emails with ease. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows using Mailgun events, such as inbound emails or delivery status changes, and connect them to hundreds of other services to streamline communication, marketing, and notification systems within your ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/http-based.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mailgun-new-permanent-failure",
  name: "New Permanent Failure (Instant)",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event when an email can't be delivered to the recipient email server due " +
    "to a permanent mailbox error such as non-existent mailbox.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventName() {
      return [
        "permanent_fail",
      ];
    },
    getEventType() {
      return [
        "failed",
      ];
    },
    getEventSubtype() {
      return [
        "permanent",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(payload) {
      const id = payload.message.headers["message-id"];
      const error = payload["delivery-status"].description;
      return {
        id: `${payload.id}${payload.timestamp}`,
        summary: `Delivery of "${id}" failed with permanent error: "${error}"`,
        ts: payload.timestamp,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Mailgun	`mailgun`	`app`	This component uses the Mailgun app.
Domain Name	`domain`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Mailgun webhook signing key	`webhookSigningKey`	`string`	Your Mailgun webhook signing key, found in your Mailgun dashboard, located under Settings on the left-hand nav and then in API Keys look for webhook signing key. Required to compute the authentication signature of events.
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.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Mailgun#

Mailgun is an email automation service built for developers. Powerful transactional email APIs enable you to send, receive, and track emails.

Action#

Create Multiple Records on Airtable

Description:Create one or more records in a table by passing an array of objects containing field names and values as key/value pairs. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-records)

Version:0.0.6

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

import chunk from "lodash.chunk";
import airtable from "../../airtable_oauth.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/common.mjs";

const BATCH_SIZE = 10; // The Airtable API allows us to update up to 10 rows per request.

    },
    returnFieldsByFieldId: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "returnFieldsByFieldId",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const baseId = this.baseId?.value ?? this.baseId;
    const tableId = this.tableId?.value ?? this.tableId;

    let data = this.records;
    if (!Array.isArray(data)) {
      data = JSON.parse(data);
    }
    data = data.map((fields) => ({
      fields,
    }));
    if (!data.length) {
      throw new Error("No Airtable record data passed to step. Please pass at least one record");
    }

    const responses = [];
    for (const c of chunk(data, BATCH_SIZE)) {
      try {
        const records = await this.airtable.createRecord({
          baseId,
          tableId,
          data: c,
          opts: {
            typecast: this.typecast,
            returnFieldsByFieldId: this.returnFieldsByFieldId,
          },
        });
        responses.push(...records);
      } catch (err) {
        this.airtable.throwFormattedError(err);

    $.export("$summary", `Added ${l} record${l === 1
      ? ""

    return responses;
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Records	`records`	`string`	Provide an array of objects. Each object should represent a new record with the column name as the key and the data to insert as the corresponding value (e.g., passing `[{"foo":"bar","id":123},{"foo":"baz","id":456}]` will create two records and with values added to the fields `foo` and `id`). The most common pattern is to reference an array of objects exported by a previous step (e.g., `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`). You may also enter or construct a string that will `JSON.parse()` to an array of objects.
Typecast	`typecast`	`boolean`	The Airtable API will perform best-effort automatic data conversion from string values if the typecast parameter is `True`. Automatic conversion is disabled by default to ensure data integrity, but it may be helpful for integrating with 3rd party data sources.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
