Salesforce Overview#

The Salesforce (REST API) provides a powerful platform for creating and managing customer relationships with a wide array of features like data manipulation, querying, and complex automation. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can create workflows that automate your sales processes, sync data with other platforms, enhance customer engagement, and trigger actions based on specific events. Dive into Salesforce data, streamline lead management, track customer interactions, and push or pull data to or from Salesforce seamlessly.

Trigger Code#

import words from "lodash/words.js";

 * matching configured `field` and `fieldUpdatedTo` prop values.

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.
