Thanks.io Overview#

The Thanks.io API lets you automate the sending of personalized postcards and letters. This API can be harnessed to craft tailored outreach campaigns, customer appreciation notes, or event-based mailings. By integrating with Pipedream, you can create intelligent, event-driven workflows that trigger mailings based on user activity, data changes, or milestones achieved in other apps, streamlining the way businesses and developers connect with their audiences physically.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "thanks_io-new-delivery",
  name: "New Delivery",
  description: "Emit new event for each new order delivered.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const params = this.subAccount
        ? {
          sub_account_id: this.subAccount,
        }
        : undefined;
      const { data: orders } = await this.thanksIo.listOrders({
        params,
      });
      let count = 0;
      for (const order of orders) {
        if (order.status === "Delivered") {
          this.$emit(order, this.generateMeta(order));
          count ++;
        }
        if (count === 25) {

    const orders = await this.paginate(this.thanksIo.listOrders, params);
    for (const order of orders) {
      if (order.status === "Delivered") {
        this.$emit(order, this.generateMeta(order));
      }
    }
  },
};

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
Thanks.io	`thanksIo`	`app`	This component uses the Thanks.io app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Sub Account	`subAccount`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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