Using Tarpipe via XMPP
Tarpipe is a wonderful service to execute a workflow of web services. You create your workflow visually, and then you send an email or POST to a API end-point to run it.
For example, this is the workflow I use to post to Twitter, Jaiku, and Pownce:
Usually I would send an email and my subject would be posted, but I also have an IM client always available.
So I wrote this XMPP-to-Tarpipe gateway. Its simple to use:
- use Tarpipe to create an workflow: you must use the REST Decoder;
- When you save the workflow, you'll be given a API token, a 32 char hex-string;
- subscribe
<the API token>@tarpipe.simplicidade.org. You can subscribe from multiple JIDs.
That's it: you now have a new buddy on your roster. Any message sent to him (apart from help) will trigger the Tarpipe workflow.
Have fun.
