Pipedream

Pipedream gives you a URL that runs a small workflow and returns whatever you tell it to. Free tier is enough for personal use.

Steps

1. Sign in at pipedream.com and create a New Workflow.
2. Trigger: HTTP / Webhook → New Requests. Pipedream shows you a URL like https://eoxxxxxx.m.pipedream.net. Copy it.

3. Add a step: Run custom code (Node.js). Replace the code with:

   export default defineComponent({
     async run({ steps, $ }) {
       const today = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en-GB", {
         weekday: "long", day: "numeric", month: "long",
       });
       await $.respond({
         status: 200,
         headers: { "content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8" },
         body: `Today is ${today}.`,
       });
     },
   });
   

4. In the trigger settings, set HTTP Response to Return a custom response from your workflow. Without this, Pipedream answers with its own default text.
5. Deploy.
6. In Snippet Keyboard, add a snippet, choose Dynamic, and paste the URL.

Tap the bubble: the keyboard fetches the URL and inserts Today is Friday, 12 September.

Ideas

• Look up something in Google Sheets, Notion or Airtable in an earlier step, then respond with one cell.
• Return a different message depending on the hour.
• Call an LLM with a fixed prompt and return the answer.

Notes

• The URL is public. Anyone who has it can trigger the workflow.
• Keep the response under a few KB; a keyboard is not a web page.
