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
Contentstack	`contentstack`	`app`	This component uses the Contentstack 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.
Webhook Name	`name`	`string`	Name of the webhook
Branches	`branchIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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