Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Daily schedule",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "schedule-daily",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every day.",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 11 * * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

Sendbird Overview#

The Sendbird API provides programmatic access to advanced chat features, enabling the creation and management of in-app messaging for community forums, customer support, or any other chat-based interaction. By leveraging the Sendbird API on Pipedream, you can automate user management, message and channel handling, and event tracking. Pipedream's serverless platform simplifies these automations, offering a way to integrate chat functionalities with other services, trigger workflows from chat events, and handle real-time data processing without writing extensive infrastructure code.

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
Sendbird	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Sendbird app.
Application Id	`applicationId`	`string`	Specifies the unique ID of the Application. To find the application ID, sign in to Sendbird Dashboard, go to Settings > Application > General, and then check Application ID.
Channel Type	`channelType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Open Channels", "value": "open_channels" }{ "label": "Group Channels", "value": "group_channels" }`
Channel URL	`channelUrl`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
User Id	`userId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Send Push	`sendPush`	`boolean`	Determines whether to send a push notification for the message to the members of the channel (applicable to group channels only). Unlike text and file messages, a push notification for an admin message is not sent by default. (Default: true)
Mention Type	`mentionType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Users", "value": "users" }{ "label": "Channel", "value": "channel" }`
Mentioned User Ids	`mentionedUserIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Is Silent	`isSilent`	`boolean`	Determines whether to send a message without updating some of the channel properties. If a message is sent in a channel, with this property set to true, the channel's last_message is updated only for the sender while its unread_message_count remains unchanged for all channel members.
Dedup Id	`dedupId`	`string`	Specifies the unique message ID created by other system. In general, this property is used to prevent the same message data from getting inserted when migrating the messages of the other system to Sendbird server. If specified, the server performs a duplicate check using the property value.
Message Type	`messageType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Message", "value": "MESG" }{ "label": "File", "value": "FILE" }{ "label": "Admin Message", "value": "ADMM" }`

Action Authentication#

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

To connect Sendbird, you will need to provide two keys.

In your organization's settings, please locate and copy your Organization API Key located in Settings the top-right corner under API Key.
Please navigate to the app that you have created, under "Applications" >> "Settings" >> "API Tokens", please copy your Master API Token.
