TransForm Overview#

The TransForm API allows you to automate server management tasks like creating, updating, and managing servers across multiple cloud platforms. It can be a game-changer for DevOps teams, system administrators, and developers who manage cloud infrastructure. By interfacing with TransForm via Pipedream, you can craft workflows that streamline server provisioning, configuration, and monitoring processes.

      }

      this._setPage(++page);

  },
};

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
TransForm	`transform`	`app`	This component uses the TransForm app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

After signing in to Alpha TransForms, you'll see the Home tab. Click the Get API Key menu option to get or generate your API Key.

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.
