Nifty Overview#

The Nifty API allows for streamlined project management, facilitating task automation and data synchronization within Pipedream. By integrating with the Nifty API, you can automate workflows involving project tracking, task assignments, and progress monitoring, effectively reducing manual overhead. On Pipedream, the API's endpoints can trigger actions, respond to changes, and update records across different services, bringing cohesion to your project management ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "nifty-new-message-posted",
  name: "New Message Posted",
  description: "Emit new event when a new message is posted in a team's discussion.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEvent() {
      return [
        "messageCreated",
      ];
    },
    getSummary({ data }) {
      return `New message posted in project with ID: ${data.id}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Nifty	`nifty`	`app`	This component uses the Nifty 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.
App Id	`appId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.
