AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

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
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS 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.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Secret	`secret`	`string`	Optional but recommended: if you enter a secret here, you must pass this value in the `secret` parameter of each HTTP POST request

Trigger Authentication#

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

FreeAgent Overview#

FreeAgent, a powerful accounting tool, offers an API enabling businesses to automate various aspects of financial management. With the FreeAgent API, you can create, read, update, and delete invoices, bills, expenses, and much more, directly through Pipedream.
