New Bounce (Instant) on Mailgun

Description:Emit new event when the email recipient could not be reached.

Version:0.0.2

View on GitHub

Mailgun Overview#

The Mailgun API on Pipedream is a potent tool for automating email operations without the overhead of managing a full-fledged email server. It offers capabilities to send, receive, track, and store emails with ease. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows using Mailgun events, such as inbound emails or delivery status changes, and connect them to hundreds of other services to streamline communication, marketing, and notification systems within your ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/http-based.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mailgun-new-bounce",
  name: "New Bounce (Instant)",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event when the email recipient could not be reached.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventName() {
      return [
        "bounce",
      ];
    },
    getEventType() {
      return [
        "bounced",
      ];
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    if (!event.body?.signature) {
      console.warn("Webhook signature missing, skipping");
      return;
    }
    if (!this.verifySignature(event.body)) {
      this.http.respond({
        status: 401,
      });
      console.warn("Webhook signature invalid, skipping");
      return;
    }
    this.emitEvent(event.body);
  },
};

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
Mailgun	`mailgun`	`app`	This component uses the Mailgun app.
Domain Name	`domain`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Mailgun webhook signing key	`webhookSigningKey`	`string`	Your Mailgun webhook signing key, found in your Mailgun dashboard, located under Settings on the left-hand nav and then in API Keys look for webhook signing key. Required to compute the authentication signature of events.
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#

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

About Mailgun#

Mailgun is an email automation service built for developers. Powerful transactional email APIs enable you to send, receive, and track emails.

Action#

Send POST Request on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-post-request

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Action Code#

import customRequest from "../custom-request/custom-request.mjs";

export default {
  ...customRequest,
  key: "http-post-request",
  name: "Send POST Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.",
  type: "action",
  version: "1.1.1",
  props: {
    ...customRequest.props,

    httpRequest: {
      ...customRequest.props.httpRequest,
      default: {
        method: "POST",
      },
    },
  },
};
