Twilio SendGrid Overview#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

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
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Twilio SendGrid	`sendgrid`	`app`	This component uses the Twilio SendGrid app.
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.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Twilio SendGrid#

Send marketing and transactional email through the Twilio SendGrid platform with the Email API, proprietary mail transfer agent, and infrastructure for scalable delivery.

Action#

Cohere Overview#

The Cohere API enables the development of apps with advanced natural language understanding capabilities. Utilizing machine learning, it can help with tasks like text generation, summarization, sentiment analysis, and more. On Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Cohere's features into serverless workflows, triggering actions based on text input, processing large volumes of data, or even enhancing chatbots with more human-like responses.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "cohere_platform-generate-text",
  name: "Generate Text",
  version: "0.0.2",
  description: "This action generates realistic text conditioned on a given input. [See the docs here](https://docs.cohere.ai/reference/generate)",
  type: "action",
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Cohere	`coherePlatform`	`app`	This component uses the Cohere app.
Prompt	`prompt`	`string`	Represents the prompt or text to be completed. Trailing whitespaces will be trimmed. If your use case requires trailing whitespaces, please contact ivan@cohere.ai.
Model	`model`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`mediumxlarge`
Number of generations	`numGenerations`	`integer`	Defaults to 1, min value of 1, max value of 5. Denotes the maximum number of generations that will be returned.
Max Tokens	`maxTokens`	`integer`	Denotes the number of tokens to predict per generation, defaults to 20. See BPE Tokens for more details. Can only be set to `0` if `return_likelihoods` is set to `ALL` to get the likelihood of the prompt.
Preset	`preset`	`string`	The ID of a custom playground preset. You can create presets in the playground. If you use a preset, all other parameters become optional, and any included parameters will override the preset's parameters.
Temperature	`temperature`	`string`	Defaults to `0.75`, min value of `0.0`, max value of `5.0`. A non-negative float that tunes the degree of randomness in generation. Lower temperatures mean less random generations. See Temperature for more details.
K	`k`	`integer`	Defaults to `0`(disabled), which is the minimum. Maximum value is `500`. Ensures only the top `k` most likely tokens are considered for generation at each step.
P	`p`	`string`	Defaults to `0.75`. Set to `1.0` or `0` to disable. If set to a probability `0.0 < p < 1.0`, it ensures that only the most likely tokens, with total probability mass of `p`, are considered for generation at each step. If both `k` and `p` are enabled, `p` acts after `k`.
Frequency Penalty	`frequencyPenalty`	`string`	Defaults to `0.0`, min value of `0.0`, max value of `1.0`. Can be used to reduce repetitiveness of generated tokens. Similar to `frequency_penalty`, except that this penalty is applied equally to all tokens that have already appeared, regardless of their exact frequencies.
End Sequences	`endSequences`	`string[]`	The generated text will be cut at the beginning of the earliest occurence of an end sequence. The sequence will be excluded from the text.
Stop Sequences	`stopSequences`	`string[]`	The generated text will be cut at the end of the earliest occurence of a stop sequence. The sequence will be included the text.
Return Likelihoods	`returnLikelihoods`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`GENERATIONALLNONE`
Logit Bias	`logitBias`	`object`	Used to prevent the model from generating unwanted tokens or to incentivize it to include desired tokens. The format is `{token_id: bias}` where bias is a float between `-10` and `10`. Tokens can be obtained from text using Tokenize. For example, if the value `{'11': -10}` is provided, the model will be very unlikely to include the token 11 (`" "`, the newline character) anywhere in the generated text. In contrast `{'11': 10}` will result in generations that nearly only contain that token. Values between -10 and 10 will proportionally affect the likelihood of the token appearing in the generated text. Note: logit bias may not be supported for all custom models.
Truncate	`truncate`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`NONESTARTEND`
