Pipedream's pitch is that you write code but they handle OAuth token refresh for two thousand services. That's a real convenience and it's also the only thing standing between you and a bot doing this on its own box - because if you're already writing code, hosting the code is not the hard part. The bot will happily manage tokens for the handful of services you use. The trade is that when a refresh token silently expires at 3am, Pipedream would have retried and yours will just stop.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser and my logins. I already write code, so just run my workflows properly. Build: - One repo, one worker. Each workflow is a file exporting a trigger and a handler. - Triggers: HTTP webhook, cron, or polling. Support all three. - SQLite for dedupe state and an execution log. The part I actually want from you - credentials: - Store OAuth tokens encrypted at rest with a key from the env. - Refresh proactively, before expiry, not on the 401. Log every refresh. - If a refresh fails, retry twice, then message me with which service and why. A silently dead integration is the worst outcome here, worse than a loud crash. Observability: - A page at /runs on localhost: last 500 executions, filter by workflow and outcome, click through to the full payload and the error. - Weekly, message me a one-line summary per workflow: runs, failures, last success. Running it: keep the worker and the webhook listener up on a stable URL with TLS. Restart on crash. Back the SQLite file and the encryption key up nightly, separately.
what you lose
- managed OAuth token refresh for 2,000 services
- a hosted HTTP endpoint that's up whether or not your box is
- the component registry, which saves real time
- execution logs and observability you didn't build
