Introduction to Pipedream
Pipedream is the fastest way to automate any process that connects APIs. Build and run workflows with code-level control when you need it, and no code when you don't.
The Pipedream platform includes:
- A serverless runtime and workflow service
- Source-available triggers and actions for hundreds of integrated apps
- One-click OAuth and key-based authentication for more than 2,000 APIs (use tokens directly in code or with pre-built actions)

Source-available
