Thanks.io Overview#

The Thanks.io API lets you automate the sending of personalized postcards and letters. This API can be harnessed to craft tailored outreach campaigns, customer appreciation notes, or event-based mailings. By integrating with Pipedream, you can create intelligent, event-driven workflows that trigger mailings based on user activity, data changes, or milestones achieved in other apps, streamlining the way businesses and developers connect with their audiences physically.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "thanks_io-new-order",
  name: "New Order",
  description: "Emit new event for each new order placed.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(order) {
      return {
        id: order.id,
        summary: `New Order ID: ${order.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(order?.created_at?.date),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const lastCreated = this._getLastTimestamp();
    let newLastCreated = lastCreated;

    const params = lastCreated
      ? {}
      : {
        items_per_page: 25,
      };
    if (this.subaccount) {
      params.sub_account_id = this.subaccount;
    }

    const { data: orders } = await this.thanksIo.listOrders({
      params,
    });
    for (const order of orders) {
      const createdAt = Date.parse(order.created_at.date);
      if (this.isLater(createdAt, lastCreated)) {
        this.$emit(order, this.generateMeta(order));
      }
      if (this.isLater(createdAt, newLastCreated)) {
        newLastCreated = createdAt;
      }
    }

    this._setLastTimestamp(newLastCreated);
  },
};

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
Thanks.io	`thanksIo`	`app`	This component uses the Thanks.io app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Sub Account	`subAccount`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Thanks.io uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Thanks.io account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Thanks.io and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Thanks.io API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
