Eventbrite Overview#

The Eventbrite API offers a powerful way to create, manage, and attend events programmatically. With Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate a swath of tasks such as syncing attendee data, updating events in real-time, and connecting Eventbrite to other apps to streamline event workflows. By employing Pipedream's serverless platform, you can engineer intricate automations that respond to event triggers (like new event creation or ticket purchase) and conduct actions across your software stack without writing extensive code.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "eventbrite-new-order",
  name: "New Order (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when an order has been placed",
  version: "0.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getActions() {
      return "order.placed";
    },
    async getData(order) {
      const { event_id: eventId } = order;
      const event = await this.eventbrite.getEvent(null, eventId);
      return {
        order,
        event,
      };
    },
    generateMeta({ order }) {
      const {
        id, created,
      } = order;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New Order ID: ${id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(created),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Eventbrite	`eventbrite`	`app`	This component uses the Eventbrite app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Organization	`organization`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.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.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Twilio Overview#

Twilio's API on Pipedream opens up a multitude of communication capabilities, allowing you to build robust, scalable, and automated workflows. With Twilio, you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages, make voice calls, and perform other communication functions programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's seamless integration, you can connect these communications features with hundreds of other services to automate notifications, streamline customer interactions, and enhance operational efficiency.

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.
