Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a HTTP / Webhook trigger and Google Slides action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

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
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.
Watching timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to watch the URL.
HTTP Request Configuration	`httpRequest`	`http_request`	HTTP Request Configuration
Emit body only	`emitBodyOnly`	`boolean`	If set as true the emitted item will contain only the response body, otherwise, it will include the request status code.
Emit as array	`emitAsArray`	`boolean`	If the request responds with an array, this source will emit changes individually for each item of the array.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Google Slides Overview#

The Google Slides API allows you to create, read, and edit Google Slides presentations programmatically. With Pipedream's integration, you can automate your slide workflows, enabling dynamic content updates, collaboration enhancements, and streamlined reporting. By plugging into Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger slide creation or updates based on events from other apps, process data for presentations, and handle sharing and publishing tasks—all with minimal fuss.

Action Code#

import app from "../../google_slides.app.mjs"; export default { key: "google_slides-create-presentation", name: "Create Presentation", description: "Create a blank presentation or duplicate an existing presentation. [See the docs here](https://developers.google.com/slides/api/guides/presentations#copy_an_existing_presentation)", version: "0.0.6", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { app, title: { type: "string", label: "Title", description: "The title of the new presentation.", }, drive: { propDefinition: [ app, "watchedDrive", ], description: "The drive to select a presentation from.

Presentation	`presentationId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

Google Slides uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Slides account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Slides and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Slides API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
