Integrate the Postman API with the Twilio SendGrid API

Setup the Postman API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Twilio SendGrid API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Postman and Twilio SendGrid remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Postman#

The Postman API enables you to automate tasks within your Postman collections, such as running collections, fetching and updating environments, and integrating your API development workflow into your CI/CD pipeline. Using Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create custom workflows that trigger on various events, process data, and connect with other apps, extending the capabilities of your API testing and development processes.

Connect Postman#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    postman: {
      type: "app",
      app: "postman",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "auth_token": `=user:NNNNNN`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.getpostman.com/me`,
      headers: {
        "X-Api-Key": `${this.postman.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
      data,
    })
  },
})

Overview of Twilio SendGrid#

The Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.

Connect Twilio SendGrid#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    sendgrid: {
      type: "app",
      app: "sendgrid",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/user/account`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.sendgrid.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Two days before Thanksgiving, I decided to put together a simple way for our family to share pictures, because we couldn’t be together in person.

Here’s how I got it working. tldr; A Pipedream workflow parses SMS messages sent to a Twilio phone number, extracting the pictures and then using SendGrid to email them to the dedicated email addresses used by our Pix-Star photo frames.
