Overview of Blink#

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",

Overview of Amazon SES#

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.
