RudderStack HTTP API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the RudderStack HTTP API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview#

The RudderStack HTTP API gives you the power to track and send events to RudderStack from anywhere you can make an HTTP request. With this API, you can streamline data from your apps, websites, and servers directly into RudderStack, enabling real-time analytics and insights. Using Pipedream, you can harness this capability to automate data collection and orchestration, syncing event data with other services, triggering actions based on customer behavior, or even enriching event data before it hits your data warehouse.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    rudderstack: {
      type: "app",
      app: "rudderstack",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "userId": `{{pass_user_id_here}}`,
      "anonymousId": `{{or_pass_anonymouse_user_id_here}}`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `${this.rudderstack.$auth.data_plane_url}/v1/identify`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.rudderstack.$auth.source_write_key}`,
        password: ``,
      },
      data,
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Real-Time Customer Segmentation: Automate customer segmentation by sending custom events to RudderStack whenever a user performs a significant action on your platform. Use the Pipedream workflow to listen for events from your app, enrich the event data with user attributes, and send it to RudderStack to segment users based on their behavior in real-time.
Multi-Channel Marketing Automation: Create a Pipedream workflow that reacts to new sign-ups or user events by triggering marketing workflows across email, SMS, or social media. Capture the events via RudderStack, process them in Pipedream, and connect with apps like Mailchimp, Twilio, or Facebook Ads to launch targeted campaigns.
Product Analytics and Feedback Loop: Integrate RudderStack with product analytics tools like Mixpanel or Amplitude via Pipedream. As users interact with your product, collect this data, send it through RudderStack, and forward it to your analytics platform, enabling you to track feature usage and create a feedback loop to inform product development.

Please note that the RudderStack HTTP API provided in the prompt is incorrect and seems to be associated with Vision6. The examples provided are based on the premise of using RudderStack's actual capabilities with Pipedream.

Authentication#

RudderStack HTTP uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your RudderStack HTTP account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to RudderStack HTTP APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To connect Pipedream to your RudderStack account to use their HTTP API,

Visit your RudderStack sources
Open the Details for the source you'd like to connect
Copy the source_write_key and paste that value below
Paste your data_plane_url below (refer to their docs to retrieve your Data Plane URL)
