Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Event (Instant) on RingCentral

Description:Emit new event for each notification from RingCentral of a specified type

Version:0.1.4

Key:ringcentral-new-event

RingCentral Overview#

RingCentral is a comprehensive cloud communication platform that melds messaging, video, and phone services. Integrating RingCentral with Pipedream allows for automated workflows involving SMS sending, call management, and leveraging communication logs for data-driven insights. With Pipedream's serverless execution model, you can trigger actions based on specific RingCentral events or schedule tasks to run at predetermined intervals, all without writing extensive code.

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
RingCentral	`ringcentral`	`app`	This component uses the RingCentral 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.
Extensions	`extensionId`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Device	`deviceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Notification Types	`notificationTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Action#

Send any HTTP Request on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-custom-request

View on GitHub

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Action Code#

import http from "../../http.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "http-custom-request",
  name: "Send any HTTP Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.",
