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.

Greenhouse Overview#

The Greenhouse API offers a powerful suite of tools for automating and enhancing the recruitment process. It allows you to programmatically access candidate information, job listings, scorecards, and scheduling details, which opens a myriad of possibilities for streamlining recruiting workflows. By leveraging the Greenhouse API on Pipedream, you can automate repetitive tasks, integrate with other HR systems, analyze recruitment data, and build custom event-driven workflows to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your hiring process.

Trigger Code#

import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";
import greenhouse from "../../greenhouse.app.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

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
Greenhouse	`greenhouse`	`app`	This component uses the Greenhouse app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Candidate ID	`candidateId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

In order to create a Harvest API key, a user must be granted the “Can manage ALL organization’s API Credentials” in the “Developer permission” section. That user can then go Configure >> Dev Center >> API Credential Management as described in Harvest API Introduction.

Action#

Send GET Request on HTTP / Webhook

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

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-get-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-get-request",
  name: "Send GET Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP GET request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.",
