Azure DevOps Overview#

The Azure DevOps API opens up a world of possibilities for automating and enhancing your software development workflows. Through Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create custom integrations and serverless workflows that interact with your Azure DevOps projects. Automate tasks such as triggering builds, managing work items, updating repositories, and orchestrating multi-step processes that connect Azure DevOps with other services.

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
Azure DevOps	`azureDevops`	`app`	This component uses the Azure DevOps app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
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.
Organization	`organization`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Type	`eventType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Philips Hue Overview#

The Philips Hue API offers rich control over Philips Hue smart lighting systems. Via Pipedream, you can automate your lighting based on various triggers – think syncing lights with the sun's cycle, changing color to indicate new emails, or even integrating with motion sensors for a smart-home experience. With Pipedream's capabilities to connect to countless services, the possibilities of creating personalized lighting scenarios are vast, limited only by your imagination and the availability of triggers or events from other services and devices.
