Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a HTTP / Webhook trigger and Verifalia action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Requests (Payload Only) trigger
1. Connect your HTTP / Webhook account
Configure the Verify List of Email Address action
1. Connect your Verifalia account
2. Configure Email Addresses
3. Optional- Select a Quality Level
4. Optional- Configure Data Retention Period
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Requests (Payload Only) on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request

Version:0.1.1

Key:http-new-requests-payload-only

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Trigger Code#

import http from "../../http.app.mjs";

// Core HTTP component
// Returns a 200 OK response, emits the HTTP payload as an event
export default {
  key: "http-new-requests-payload-only",
  name: "New Requests (Payload Only)",

  },
  async run(event) {
    const { body } = event;
    this.httpInterface.respond({
      status: 200,
      body,
    });
    // Emit the HTTP payload
    this.$emit({
      body,
    });
  },
};

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
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.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.
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Verify List of Email Address on Verifalia

Description:Verify a list of email address and check if it is properly formatted, really exists and can accept mails, flagging spam traps, disposable emails and much more. [See the docs](https://verifalia.com/developers#email-validations-creating) for more information

Verifalia Overview#

Verifalia's API provides robust email validation and verification services, ensuring that email addresses in your lists are accurate and deliverable. Leveraging Verifalia within Pipedream workflows can automate the process of cleaning up email lists, improve email marketing efficiency, and maintain communication channel integrity. By integrating Verifalia's capabilities, you can cut down on bounces, identify disposable email addresses, and segment lists based on quality scores.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Verifalia	`verifalia`	`app`	This component uses the Verifalia app.
Email Addresses	`emailAddresses`	`string[]`	Enter a list of email address to verify (e.g. `batman@gmail.com`)
Quality Level	`quality`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Standard quality", "value": "standard" }{ "label": "High quality", "value": "high" }{ "label": "Extreme quality", "value": "extreme" }`
Data Retention Period	`retention`	`string`	The data retention period to observe for the validation job, expressed in the format `dd.hh:mm:ss` (where dd: days, hh: hours, mm: minutes, ss: seconds); the initial `dd.` part is added only for periods of more than 24 hours. The value has a minimum of 5 minutes (`0:5:0`) and a maximum of 30 days (`30.0:0:0`): Verifalia will delete the job and its data once its data retention period is over, starting to count when it gets completed.

Action Authentication#

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

In order to connect Verifalia with Pipedream, enter your Verifalia username and password below.

To learn more about how Verifalia handles authentication, see their documentation.
Make sure to use a strong and unique password for Verifalia.

About Verifalia#

Verifalia is a fast and accurate email verification service which identifies deliverable, invalid, or otherwise risky email addresses in real-time: it stops bad and low-quality emails getting into your systems, reduces bounce rates and keeps your campaigns deliverable.
