Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Superdocu trigger and Helper Functions action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Event trigger
1. Connect your Superdocu account
2. Configure Secret
Configure the Export Variables action
1. Connect your Helper Functions account
2. Configure Configuration
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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.

Superdocu Overview#

The Superdocu API empowers users to automate document collection and management processes, streamlining the way businesses handle paperwork for clients and employees. It facilitates the creation of document requests, tracking of submissions, and management of user data, all programmatically. Leveraging the Superdocu API on Pipedream allows users to build powerful, serverless workflows that can interact with a broad array of other applications, improving efficiency, reducing manual labor, and ensuring critical documents are collected and processed on time.

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
Superdocu	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Superdocu app.
Secret	`secret`	`string`	The secret used to sign the webhook. Click here for more information.
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.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Superdocu account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “API”

Helper Functions Overview#

The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
