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
Firefish	`firefish`	`app`	This component uses the Firefish app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

candidatesAPI-readcontactsAPI-readcompaniesAPI-readplacementdetailsAPI-readplacementdetailsAPI-writejobsAPI-readjobsAPI-writeactionsAPI-readadvertsAPI-readcandidatesAPI-writecontactsAPI-writecompaniesAPI-writecommsAPI-readWrite

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key, with the minimum IAM permissions necessary to send email or hit the desired SES APIs from Pipedream.
