Trigger#

New Inbound SES Emails on AWS

Description:The source subscribes to all emails delivered to a specific domain configured in AWS SES. When an email is sent to any address at the domain, this event source emits that email as a formatted event. These events can trigger a Pipedream workflow and can be consumed via SSE or REST API.

AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

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
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS 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.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
SES Domain	`domain`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.

As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.

Enter your access and secret key below.

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.

Action Code#

import snatchbot from "../../snatchbot.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "snatchbot-get-messages",
  name: "Get Messages",

  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.snatchbot.listMessages({

        message_id: this.messageId,
      },
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully retrieved ${response.messages.length} message${response.messages.length === 1
        ? ""
        : "s"}.`);
    }

    return response;

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”
