Placid
Placid generates thousands of visuals from custom templates with dynamic elements like text, colors or photos. Use data from any source to create auto-updating creatives with our APIs or nocode integrations.
Integrate the Placid API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Placid API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Placid and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Placid#
The Placid API lets you automate the creation of visual content such as images and videos. With Pipedream, you can trigger workflows using various events, process data, and use the Placid API to dynamically generate marketing materials, social media graphics, personalized images for email campaigns, and more. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate Placid with other apps to create robust, multi-step automations without writing extensive code.
Connect Placid#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
placid: {
type: "app",
app: "placid",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.placid.app/api/rest/templates`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.placid.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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.
