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.

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

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

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

offlineaccounts:readforms:writeforms:readimages:writeimages:readthemes:writethemes:readresponses:readresponses:writewebhooks:readwebhooks:writeworkspaces:readworkspaces:write

About Typeform#

Typeform lets you build no-code forms, quizzes, and surveys - and get more responses.

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
Twilio SendGrid	`sendgrid`	`app`	This component uses the Twilio SendGrid app.
From Email	`fromEmail`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
From Name	`fromName`	`string`	A name or title associated with the sending email address
To Email	`toEmail`	`string`	The intended recipient's email address
To Name	`toName`	`string`	The intended recipient's name
CC	`cc`	`string`	An array of recipients who will receive a copy of your email. Each object in this array must contain the recipient's email address. Each object in the array may optionally contain the recipient's name. Alternatively, provide a string that will `JSON.parse` to an array of recipient objects. Example: `[{"email":"email@example.com","name":"Example Recipient"}]`
BCC	`bcc`	`string`	An array of recipients who will receive a blind copy of your email. Each object in this array must contain the recipient's email address. Each object in the array may optionally contain the recpient's name. Alternatively, provide a string that will `JSON.parse` to an array of recipient objects. Example: `[{"email":"email@example.com","name":"Example Recipient"}]`
Personalization.Headers	`personalizationHeaders`	`object`	An object containing key/value pairs allowing you to specify handling instructions for your email. You may not overwrite the following headers: `x-sg-id`, `x-sg-eid`, `received`, `dkim-signature`, `Content-Type`, `Content-Transfer-Encoding`, `To`, `From`, `Subject`, `Reply-To`, `CC`, `BCC`.
Substitutions	`substitutions`	`string`	Substitutions allow you to insert data without using Dynamic Transactional Templates. This field should not be used in combination with a Dynamic Transactional Template, which can be identified by a `template_id` starting with `d-`. This field is a collection of key/value pairs following the pattern `"substitution_tag":"value to substitute"`. The key/value pairs must be strings. These substitutions will apply to the text and html content of the body of your email, in addition to the `subject` and `reply-to` parameters. The total collective size of your substitutions may not exceed 10,000 bytes per personalization object.
Dynamic Template Data	`dynamicTemplateData`	`object`	Dynamic template data is available using Handlebars syntax in Dynamic Transactional Templates. This field should be used in combination with a Dynamic Transactional Template, which can be identified by a template_id starting with d-. This field is a collection of key/value pairs following the pattern `"variable_name":"value to insert"`
Template ID	`templateId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Reply To Email	`replyToEmail`	`string`	The email address where any replies or bounces will be returned
Reply To Name	`replyToName`	`string`	A name or title associated with the `replyToEmail` address
Subject	`subject`	`string`	The global or `message level` subject of your email
Content	`content`	`string`	Content of the email in `text/html`
Attachments	`attachments`	`string`	An array of objects where you can specify any attachments you want to include. The fields `content` and `filename` are required. `content` must be base64 encoded. Alternatively, provide a string that will `JSON.parse` to an array of attachments objects. Example: `[{content:"aGV5",type:"text/plain",filename:"sample.txt"}]`
Headers	`headers`	`object`	An object containing key/value pairs of header names and the value to substitute for them. The key/value pairs must be strings. You must ensure these are properly encoded if they contain unicode characters. These headers cannot be one of the reserved headers.
Categories	`categories`	`string[]`	A string array of category names for this message. Each category name may not exceed 255 characters. Example: `["category1","category2"]`
Custom Args	`customArgs`	`string`	Values that are specific to the entire send that will be carried along with the email and its activity data. Key/value pairs must be strings. Substitutions will not be made on custom arguments, so any string that is entered into this parameter will be assumed to be the custom argument that you would like to be used. This parameter is overridden by `custom_args` set at the personalizations level. Total `custom_args` size may not exceed 10,000 bytes.
Send At	`sendAt`	`integer`	A unix timestamp allowing you to specify when you want your email to be delivered. This may be overridden by the `send_at` parameter set at the personalizations level. Delivery cannot be scheduled more than 72 hours in advance. If you have the flexibility, it's better to schedule mail for off-peak times. Most emails are scheduled and sent at the top of the hour or half hour. Scheduling email to avoid peak times — for example, scheduling at 10:53 — can result in lower deferral rates due to the reduced traffic during off-peak times.
