Superdocu Overview#

The Superdocu API empowers users to automate document collection and management processes, streamlining the way businesses handle paperwork for clients and employees. It facilitates the creation of document requests, tracking of submissions, and management of user data, all programmatically. Leveraging the Superdocu API on Pipedream allows users to build powerful, serverless workflows that can interact with a broad array of other applications, improving efficiency, reducing manual labor, and ensuring critical documents are collected and processed on time.

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
Superdocu	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Superdocu app.
Secret	`secret`	`string`	The secret used to sign the webhook. Click here for more information.
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#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Superdocu account and sign in

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.
