Build and run workflows using the Blink API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Blink API allows you to access and manage data within the Blink platform, a hub for team communication and content sharing. Through Pipedream, you can automate workflows that leverage this API to streamline notifications, content distribution, and team interactions. You can create actions that respond to specific triggers, like new messages or updates to content, and connect Blink with other apps to enrich the functionality of your workflows.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
blink: {
type: "app",
app: "blink",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.joinblink.com/v2/user`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.blink.$auth.token}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Team Notifications: Set up a workflow that listens for updates from a project management tool like Trello or Asana. When a task is marked as complete, automatically post a notification in the relevant Blink feed to keep the team informed.
Content Sharing Pipeline: Create a workflow that monitors a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive for new files. When a new file is added, share a link to the file automatically in a Blink group or 1:1 chat, ensuring that team members have immediate access to the latest resources.
Event-Driven Reminders: Use the Blink API to send reminders or follow-ups in Blink chats. Trigger this workflow by scheduling events in Google Calendar; when an event is coming up or a deadline is near, the workflow can post a reminder message in the appropriate Blink feed.
Authentication#
Blink uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Blink account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Blink APIs in both code and no-code steps.
