Overview of Lob#
The Lob API provides a suite of automation capabilities focused on direct mail, address verification, and print management. With Lob, you can automate the sending of physical mail programmatically, verify addresses to ensure deliverability, and manage printing logistics for marketing campaigns or operational needs. It's a powerful tool for bridging the digital and physical mailing worlds, particularly useful for marketing, billing, and compliance communications.
Connect Lob#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
lob: {
type: "app",
app: "lob",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.lob.com/v1/addresses`,
auth: {
username: this.lob.$auth.secret_api_key,
password: ''
},
})
},
})
Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
