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.

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.

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
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.
Watching timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to watch the URL.
HTTP Request Configuration	`httpRequest`	`http_request`	HTTP Request Configuration
Emit body only	`emitBodyOnly`	`boolean`	If set as true the emitted item will contain only the response body, otherwise, it will include the request status code.
Emit as array	`emitAsArray`	`boolean`	If the request responds with an array, this source will emit changes individually for each item of the array.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Textlocal Overview#

The Textlocal API on Pipedream allows for robust SMS messaging capabilities within workflows. You can send notifications, alerts, and updates directly to mobile users, automate marketing campaigns, or integrate SMS into multi-channel communication strategies. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows involving Textlocal for various application domains without managing infrastructure, boosting productivity and engagement through the power of automated text messaging.

Numbers	`numbers`	`string`	Note: While both numbers and group_id are optional parameters, one or the other must be included in the request for the message to be sent.
Group Id	`groupId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Simple Reply	`simpleReply`	`boolean`	Set to true to enable the Simple Reply Service for the message. This will override any sender value, as a Simple Reply Service number will be used instead.
Schedule Time	`scheduleTime`	`string`	This parameter can be used to specify a schedule date/time for your message, which should be provided in Unix timestamp format. Times should be provided in GMT.
Receipt URL	`receiptUrl`	`string`	Use this field to specify an alternative URL to which the delivery receipt(s) will be sent. See handling receipts documentation.

Unicode	`unicode`	`boolean`	Set this value to true to specify that your message body will contain unicode characters. See Encoding/Decoding Unicode Documentation
Tracking Links	`trackingLinks`	`boolean`	Set this value to true to specify that the message contains links and they should be converted to short links (trackable in messenger), Please note that links must be url encoded before being placed into the message
Test	`test`	`boolean`	Set this field to true to enable test mode, no messages will be sent and your credit balance will be unaffected. If not provided defaults to false

Action Authentication#

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