Connecting Omnisend with Pipedream
Step 1. Generate your API key in Omnisend before connecting to Pipedream. Go to Apps → search for Pipedream → click Connect now → Copy API Key.
Step 2. If you don't already have a Project created, you need to start by creating a Project and then a new workflow.
⬇️
Step 3. Once in the builder, create a Trigger or an Action and select Omnisend. You'll see a Connect an Omnisend account button.
Step 4. Here, paste the previously created API key and then click Save.
That's it! The account is now connected. You can select it from the dropdown in any future Omnisend action.
Example Use Case
Given that the possible scenarios are practically limitless, we will provide an example of how to add a contact to Omnisend when a new row is created in a spreadsheet.
Start by selecting the Trigger (New Row Added (Instant)) and connecting your account. Once done, select the Spreadsheet ID (or search by name) along with the Sheet within the file.
⬇️
Now, set up the API request. To help you build the request body, refer to the Omnisend API reference for contacts.
You can leave every field as-is, except for the Body tab: change the content type to JSON.
Once you edit the request content, you can access variables here.
Always test the workflow to ensure it functions correctly before deploying.
This is what our example final request looks like.
Once ready, click Deploy and add a new row in your sheet.
⬇️
The contact is instantly created in Omnisend.
