Overview#
The Action Builder API on Pipedream paves the way for crafting bespoke serverless workflows tailored to specific automation needs. Essentially, it's a playground for developers to create custom actions, integrate with a myriad of services, and automate tasks that were once manual and time-consuming. The API allows you to design, execute, and orchestrate actions that trigger on specific events or schedules, manipulate data with inbuilt functions, and connect disparate systems with ease, fostering a seamless data flow and enhanced productivity.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
action_builder: {
type: "app",
app: "action_builder",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://${this.action_builder.$auth.organization}.actionbuilder.org/api/rest/v1/campaigns`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
"OSDI-API-Token": `${this.action_builder.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Content Distribution: Use Action Builder to create a custom action that pushes new blog posts from a headless CMS to social media platforms. When a new post is published, the workflow triggers and disseminates the content across Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, ensuring timely updates to your audience.
Customer Support Ticket Routing: Leverage Action Builder to sort and assign incoming support tickets from a platform like Zendesk to the appropriate teams. The workflow could analyze the content of the ticket, categorize it (e.g., technical, billing, general inquiry), and then route it to the correct queue, streamlining the support process.
Data Backup and Sync: Design a custom action to automate the backup of critical data from your cloud storage solution to an alternative backup location, like Google Drive or Dropbox. The workflow could be set to run at a predetermined interval, ensuring regular snapshots of your data are saved, reducing the risk of data loss.
Authentication#
Action Builder uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Action Builder account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Action Builder APIs in both code and no-code steps.
To retrieve your API key,
- Navigate to your Action Builder account and sign in
- Go to “Admin Menu” > “API and Integrations”
