Connect provides managed OAuth tokens, a library of API helpers, and a platform for running serverless functions for any of your users. Build features that connect to 2,000+ APIs in minutes.

Pipedream Connect is currently in preview, and we're looking for feedback During the Preview phase, Connect is free to use for any workspace. Pricing will come later and will be clearly communicated in advance.

Our current plan is to price Pipedream Connect in a similar way to how we price Pipedream's existing product (https://pipedream.com/pricing), which is a combination of a platform fee + a usage-based fee.

However, rather than based on workflow executions, we expect the usage-based fee to be based on the number of users with an active connected account.

This is a key element of our early discussions with customers and we look forward to hearing feedback.


thanks, this is super helpful – reminds me of Stripe Connect / Stripe's pricing model. Love it!


We are excited to announce support for custom OAuth clients in Pipedream.com!

By default, OAuth apps use our official OAuth client. When you connect your account, you grant Pipedream the requested permissions (scopes), regardless of the needs or security requirements of your specific use case.

Now, you can provide your own OAuth client and define your own scopes, giving you complete control over the authorization process.

Key features:

- Define the exact scopes you need for your use case

- Control the OAuth client requesting access to your account

- Comply with internal security requirements

- Visit documentation for details


Active user workflows are an always-on testing infrastructure for our supported API integrations. We usually know about API changes in advance but, if not, we will generally see any issues very quickly.


Have you considered adding PowerShell support?


"Pipedream is the missing piece to all operational workflows, and from an engineering and operational perspective, is genuinely a joy to use."


At Pipedream, we believe helping developers be 10x more productive is how we can have the greatest impact on the world. We have been heads down building out our workflow automation platform for developers and a key part of that effort is integrating the most popular APIs on the internet.

There is a long tail of APIs we have to integrate for our 800k+ users but we've stayed focused on APIs that have large user bases, are popular with developers, and are requested by customers with business use cases.

To give you a sense of how unique this scale of API integrations is, here is a list of apps with the most API integrations:

- Zapier: 6000+ API integrations

- Pipedream: 2000+ API integrations

- Make: 1500+ API integrations

- Workato: 1200+ API integrations

Of course, what makes Pipedream unique is that you execute custom logic using Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash, so can interact with any API regardless of whether it is integrated or not. We like to say "code when you need it and no code when you don't." Integrated apps allow you to use pre-built triggers and actions, or use your authenticated account within a code step.

In addition, we offer an HTTP request action which a Postman-like interface to configure HTTP requests within workflows (https://pipedream.com/docs/http#http-request-action).

To request an API integration, visit our GitHub repo and create an issue (https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream) or visit our support page (https://pipedream.com/support).
