Loop Returns Overview#

The Loop Returns API enables merchants to automate and streamline their returns and exchanges process. It offers endpoints that allow you to initiate returns, update return states, and manage return-related data, all programmable to fit into your existing e-commerce and customer service workflows. With Pipedream, you can trigger workflows based on events in Loop, or use actions to call the Loop API directly, automating tasks like syncing return data with customer service platforms, updating inventory management systems, or even issuing refunds.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "loop_returns-return-status-updated-instant",
  name: "Return Status Updated (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when the status of a return has been updated. [See the documentation](https://docs.loopreturns.com/reference/return-webhook)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    setReturnState(resource) {
      this.db.set(resource.id, resource.state);
    },
    getReturnState(returnId) {
      return this.db.get(returnId);
    },
    isResourceRelevant(resource) {
      const previousState = this.getReturnState(resource.id);

      if (!previousState) {
        return true;
      }

      return resource.state !== previousState;
    },
    processResource(resource) {
      if (this.isResourceRelevant(resource)) {
        this.setReturnState(resource);
        return this.$emit(resource, this.generateMeta(resource));
      }
      console.log("Skipping irrelevant resource", resource);
    },
    getResourcesFn() {
      return this.app.listReturns;
    },
    getEventData() {
      return {
        url: this.http.endpoint,
        topic: events.TOPIC.RETURN,
        trigger: events.TRIGGER.RETURN_UPDATED,
      };
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      const ts = Date.parse(resource.updated_at);
      return {
        id: `${resource.id}-${ts}`,
        summary: `Return Status Updated: ${resource.order_name}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Loop Returns	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Loop Returns app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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;
  },
};
