Blink
Create trust and dialogue between frontline workers and executive teams in real-time.
Integrate the Blink API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Blink API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Blink and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Blink and Snowflake Triggers#
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.
Connect Blink#
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`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Snowflake#
Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.
Getting Started
1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake
Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.
We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.
2. Enter those details in Pipedream
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.
You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.
3. Build your first workflow
Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
