SnatchBot Overview#

The SnatchBot API provides a programmatic window to SnatchBot's chatbot platform, allowing you to manage and interact with your bots outside of the SnatchBot interface. With this API, you can execute tasks like sending messages, retrieving chat history, and managing your bot's structure and behavior. When integrated into Pipedream workflows, the SnatchBot API shines in automating interactions, syncing chat data with other systems, and reacting to events with custom logic and third-party services.

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
SnatchBot	`snatchbot`	`app`	This component uses the SnatchBot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

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

To retrieve your App ID and Secret,

Navigate to your SnatchBot account and sign in
Click on one of your Bots, then click on “Channels”
Go to “Other” > “API”

In the steps above when you click one of your bots, your Bot ID is 1234 if your Bot URL is https://account.snatchbot.me/edit/1234

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
