Twilio SendGrid Overview#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

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
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Twilio SendGrid	`sendgrid`	`app`	This component uses the Twilio SendGrid app.
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.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Jobber Overview#

The Jobber API allows for the automation of service business operations, such as scheduling jobs, managing clients, and invoicing. By pairing it with Pipedream, you can craft powerful serverless workflows that react to events in Jobber or integrate with other services to streamline your business processes. With Pipedream’s ability to connect to hundreds of apps, you can create custom automations without writing a lot of code, handling everything from data transformations to complex logic.

Action Authentication#

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

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