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
Zoho Mail	`zohoMail`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Mail app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Zoho API on this schedule
Account ID	`account`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Max	`max`	`integer`	Maximum number of emails to return at one time. Defaults to 10 if left blank.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

ZohoMail.accounts.readZohoMail.accounts.updateZohoMail.organization.subscriptions.readZohoMail.organization.subscriptions.updateZohoMail.organization.spam.readZohoMail.organization.accounts.readZohoMail.organization.accounts.createZohoMail.organization.accounts.updateZohoMail.messages.createZohoMail.messages.readZohoMail.messages.updateZohoMail.messages.deleteZohoMail.attachments.createZohoMail.attachments.readZohoMail.attachments.updateZohoMail.attachments.deleteZohoMail.organization.groups.createZohoMail.organization.groups.readZohoMail.organization.groups.updateZohoMail.organization.groups.deleteZohoMail.tags.createZohoMail.tags.readZohoMail.tags.updateZohoMail.tags.deleteZohoMail.folders.createZohoMail.folders.readZohoMail.folders.updateZohoMail.folders.deleteZohoMail.organization.domains.createZohoMail.organization.domains.readZohoMail.organization.domains.updateZohoMail.organization.domains.deleteZohoMail.tasks.createZohoMail.tasks.readZohoMail.notes.all

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	`twilio`	`app`	This component uses the Twilio app.
From	`from`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Media URL	`mediaUrl`	`string[]`	The URL of the media you wish to send out with the message. The media size limit is `5MB`. You may provide up to 10 media URLs per message.

Action Authentication#

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

To connect your Twilio account to Pipedream,

API Key and API Key SID

First, create an API key in Twilio.

There are three types of keys: Main, Standard, and Restricted. You'll need a Main key to interact with certain API endpoints, like /Accounts.
If you don't need to interact with those endpoints, you can use a Standard or Restricted key.

After creating your key, you'll see fields for Sid and Secret. Enter those in the fields below.

Account SID and Auth Token

Visit your Twilio Dashboard. You'll see your Account SID and Auth Token under Account info.
