TickTick Overview#

The TickTick API lets you tap into a robust task management framework from Pipedream. If you've ever wanted to streamline your to-do list or automate routine task management, this is your gateway. Use the API to create tasks, retrieve task details, update task status, and more. Automating your TickTick tasks can free up time, ensuring important items never slip through the cracks.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base-polling.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "ticktick-new-task-created",
  name: "New Task Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new task is created.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary(task) {
      return `New Task Created ID: ${task.id}`;
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const tasks = await this.ticktick.listTasks({
      projectId: this.projectId,
    });
    for (const task of tasks) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(task);
      this.$emit(task, meta);
    }
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
