Introduction and prerequisite

The general concept is similar across these platforms: you define a workflow (sometimes called a scenario or zap) composed of a trigger and one or more actions.

• A trigger is an event that starts the workflow (for example, receiving a new email).
• Actions are the tasks that run automatically after the trigger (for example, sending a message or creating a record).

These platforms typically provide a visual editor where you connect services together and define how data flows between them.

With Unipile, workflows can be built using two main components of the API:

• Realtime Webhooks act as the trigger. They notify your automation tool when an event occurs on a connected account (for example, a new email or a new message).
• Unipile Methods are used as the actions. They allow the workflow to perform operations such as sending a message, listing conversations, or retrieving account data.

Example workflow:

1. Trigger: A new email is received
2. Action: Send a LinkedIn message

In this setup, the automation platform receives the webhook event from Unipile and then calls the appropriate Unipile API method to perform the action.

The following sections show how to configure n8n, Make, and Zapier to build these types of automations with Unipile.
