Line Overview#

The Line API facilitates interaction with Line's messaging platform, enabling developers to send messages, manage user data, and leverage Line's rich social features within their applications. By using Pipedream, an integration platform, you can automate interactions with the Line API, connect to countless other services, and orchestrate complex workflows without managing servers.

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
Line	`line`	`app`	This component uses the Line 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.
Channel Access Token	`channelAccessToken`	`string`	The access token of a group or room. Please refer to the Line doc here to get the channel access token

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Google Docs Overview#

The Google Docs API allows you to create, read, and update Google Docs programmatically, enabling a wide range of automations and integrations with other apps and services. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to craft custom serverless workflows that trigger on various events, like form submissions, emails, or scheduled times, and perform actions like updating a document, extracting content, or even generating templated reports.

export default {
  key: "google_docs-create-document-from-text",
