Overview of Function#

The Function API allows you to run code snippets in various programming languages directly through API calls. This capability can extend Pipedream workflows by enabling custom logic processing, data transformation, or any operation that requires server-side code execution without deploying or managing servers. By using the Function API, you can incorporate code that's beyond the native actions available within Pipedream, offering a flexible and powerful way to handle complex tasks in your automations.

Connect Function#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    function: {
      type: "app",
      app: "function",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.fxn.ai/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.function.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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.
