Accredible Overview#

The Accredible API lets you automate the creation and management of digital certificates, badges, and blockchain credentials. Using Pipedream, you can connect the Accredible API to myriad services for streamlined workflow automation. Create digital certificates when a student completes a course, update credentials with new information, or share achievements across social platforms or via email. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to integrate these actions with other apps, such as learning management systems, CRMs, and communication tools, without writing extensive code.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Accredible	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Accredible app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Accredible account and sign in
Go to “Settings” on the top right menu > “API Management” > “Manage API Keys”.

Amazon SES Overview#

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.
