Vend Overview#

The Vend API offers programmatic access to retail management features, enabling users to automate processes related to inventory, sales, products, customers, and more within their retail business. Through Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger on various events within Vend, process data, integrate with other apps, and automate actions to streamline retail operations, enhance customer engagement, and optimize sales strategies.

Trigger Code#

    const { body: { payload } } = event;

    const resource = JSON.parse(payload);

    const ts = new Date();

    this.$emit(resource, {
      id: ts,
      summary: `New event ${this.eventType} (${resource.id}) `,
      ts: ts,
    });
  },
};

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
Vend	`vend`	`app`	This component uses the Vend 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.
Event Type	`eventType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Sale Update", "value": "sale.update" }{ "label": "Product Update", "value": "product.update" }{ "label": "Customer Update", "value": "customer.update" }{ "label": "Inventory Update", "value": "inventory.update" }{ "label": "Register Closure Create", "value": "register_closure.create" }{ "label": "Register Closure Update", "value": "register_closure.update" }{ "label": "Consignment Send", "value": "consignment.send" }{ "label": "Consignment Receive", "value": "consignment.receive" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.
