Typeform Overview#

With the Typeform API, you can easily create beautiful, interactive forms that
allow people to share their information with you in an engaging way. Here are
some examples of what you can build with the Typeform API:

with you
An order form for your product or service that allows people to place orders
easily and securely
A survey form that allows you to collect data and feedback from people
A registration form for your event or conference that allows people to sign
up easily and securely

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
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Form	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

offlineaccounts:readforms:writeforms:readimages:writeimages:readthemes:writethemes:readresponses:readresponses:writewebhooks:readwebhooks:writeworkspaces:readworkspaces:write

Google Photos Overview#

Google Photos is a photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It
was announced at the Google I/O conference on May 28, 2015. It allows users to
store, share, and edit photos and videos. The service also provides a suite of
tools for developers to build photo-sharing applications.

The Google Photos API provides a set of tools that developers can use to build
applications that enable users to share and edit photos and videos. The API
lets developers create, view, and edit albums, photos, and videos; upload and
download photos and videos; and search for photos and videos.

Albums, photos, and videos can be shared with other users, and users can add
comments to photos and videos. The API also provides a set of tools for
developers to build photo-sharing applications.
