Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Mailchimp Overview#

The Mailchimp API taps into the heart of your email marketing efforts, allowing you to manage subscribers, campaigns, and reports. With the API, you can automate tasks like syncing subscriber lists, segmenting contacts based on behavior, and personalizing email content to match user profiles. It's a powerful tool for marketers looking to fine-tune their email strategy and maximize engagement.

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
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Mailchimp	`mailchimp`	`app`	This component uses the Mailchimp app.
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.
Audience List Id	`listId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Trigger on subscriber actions?	`triggeredByUser`	`boolean`	If set to true, events will be emitted on subscriber-initiated actions.
Trigger on actions by Mailchimp admin?	`triggeredByAdmin`	`boolean`	If set to true, events will be emitted on admin-initiated actions in the web interface.
Trigger via actions on the API?	`triggeredByApi`	`boolean`	If set to true, events will be emitted on actions initiated via the API.
Events	`events`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Subscribes", "value": "subscribe" }{ "label": "Unsubscribes", "value": "unsubscribe" }{ "label": "Profile Updates", "value": "profile" }{ "label": "Cleaned Email", "value": "cleaned" }{ "label": "Email Address Changes", "value": "upemail" }{ "label": "Campaign sending status", "value": "campaign" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Action#

Send any HTTP Request on HTTP / Webhook

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

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-custom-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 http from "../../http.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "http-custom-request",

      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.httpRequest.execute();

    if (this.includeHeaders) {
      $.export("headers", response.headers);
    }

    return response;
