AnnounceKit Overview#

AnnounceKit is a tool for creating, managing, and publishing announcements to keep your users informed about product updates and news. Using the AnnounceKit API within Pipedream, you can automate the delivery of these updates across different platforms, sync release notes with your product's lifecycle events, or control the flow of communication based on user behavior or preferences. This level of automation can enhance user engagement and ensure timely updates without manual intervention.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "announcekit-new-post",
  name: "New Post",
  description: "Emit new event when a new post is created. [See the documentation](https://announcekit.app/docs/graphql-api)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getSummary(post) {
      return `New Post with ID: ${post.id}`;
    },
    getFn() {
      return this.app.listPosts;
    },
    getItemsField() {
      return "posts";
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
AnnounceKit	`app`	`app`	This component uses the AnnounceKit app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

AnnounceKit requires their users enter their AnnounceKit email and password in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to AnnounceKit’s documentation.

Pipedream recommends using a strong and unique password for your AnnounceKit account.

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.
