Twilio SendGrid Overview#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Workspace Admin	`googleWorkspace`	`app`	This component uses the Google Workspace Admin app.
Application Name	`applicationName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`access_transparencyadmincalendarchatdrivegcpgplusgroupsgroups_enterprisejamboardloginmeetmobilerulessamltokenuser_accountscontext_aware_accesschromedata_studiokeep`
Event Name	`eventName`	`string`	The name of the event being queried by the API. Each Event Name is related to a specific Google Workspace service or feature which the API organizes into types of events. An example is the Google Calendar events in the Admin console application's reports. The Calendar Settings type structure has all of the Calendar Event Name activities reported by the API. When an administrator changes a Calendar setting, the API reports this activity in the Calendar Settings type and Event Name parameters. For more information about Event Name query strings and parameters, see the list of event names for various applications above in Application Name. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
User Key	`userKey`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
End Time	`endTime`	`string`	Sets the end of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example `2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z`. The default value is the approximate time of the API request. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Start Time	`startTime`	`string`	Sets the beginning of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example `2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z`. The report returns all activities from Start Time until End Time. The Start Time must be before the End Time (if specified) and the current time when the request is made, or the API returns an error. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Max Results	`maxResults`	`integer`	Determines how many activity records are shown on each response page. For example, if the request sets `maxResults=1` and the report has two activities, the report has two pages. The response's `nextPageToken` property has the token to the second page. The Max Results query string is optional in the request. The default value is `1000`. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Filters	`filters`	`string`	The filters query string is a comma-separated list composed of event parameters manipulated by relational operators. Event parameters are in the form `{parameter1 name}{relational operator}{parameter1 value},{parameter2 name}{relational operator}{parameter2 value},....`. For more details on this parameter see the docs here

Action Authentication#

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

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