    this.$emit({

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
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.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.
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

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

Sender	`sender`	`string`	Use this field to specify the sender name for your message. This must be at least 3 characters in length but no longer than 11 alphanumeric characters or 13 numeric characters. If this is excluded it will use the default sender name configured on your account

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.
