Sessions Overview#

The Sessions API enables developers to handle real-time data streams and manage user sessions effectively. With Pipedream's power to integrate various services, the Sessions API can be the backbone of workflows that require managing user states across events. You can track user activities, tailor user experiences based on session data, or even trigger specific actions when certain session events occur.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "sessions-new-session-started",
  name: "New Session Started",
  description: "Emit new an event when a session starts. [See the documentation](https://api.app.sessions.us/api-docs/#/default/get_api_sessions)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    emitEvent(data) {
      this._setLastResourceId(data.id);

      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.id,
        summary: `New session started with id ${data.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.startAt),
      });
    },
    async getResources(args = {}) {
      return this.sessions.getSessions(args);
    },
  },
};

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
Sessions	`sessions`	`app`	This component uses the Sessions app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

X (Twitter) Overview#

The Twitter API on Pipedream enables you to automate interactions with Twitter, from posting tweets to analyzing social media trends. Pipedream's serverless platform provides the tools to create workflows that trigger on specific Twitter activities, process data, and connect with countless other apps for extensive automation scenarios. With Pipedream's integration, you can listen for events such as new tweets, mentions, or followers, and execute actions like tweeting, retweeting, or even leveraging sentiment analysis to gauge public perception.
