Create classrooms from your Pipedream workflows.

For developers who already automate with Pipedream. Add the Create A Space action to a Pipedream workflow, with title, visibility, site, people and a Space to clone. Mix it with your own code steps and the other apps in the workflow.

You’ll need your API key from Settings › API & Integrations in Pencil Spaces.

About Pipedream

Prebuilt actions and your own code, in one workflow.

Pipedream gives developers ready-made actions for thousands of APIs alongside code steps in Node.js or Python. It is now part of Workday. Pipedream says Workflows will shut down on March 31, 2027, and that Pipedream Connect is not affected.

How it works

Everything you need to create the right Space.

Create A Space comes with pickers for your users, sites and existing Spaces, so you don’t have to look up IDs.

Pipedream’s Pencil Spaces app has the Create A Space action. For anything more, call the Pencil Spaces API from a code step.

Setup

Connected in three steps.

You need a Pipedream account and a Pencil Spaces account with API access.

1

Generate your API key.

An Institution Admin opens Settings › API & Integrations in Pencil Spaces and clicks Generate API Key. Copy it somewhere safe; it’s shown only once.

2

Connect Pencil Spaces in Pipedream.

Add the Pencil Spaces app to a workflow and connect your account with your API key.

3

Add Create A Space.

Choose the action, fill in the options from earlier steps, and deploy your workflow.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Pipedream Workflows going away?

Pipedream says Workflows will shut down on March 31, 2027, and that Pipedream Connect is not affected. If a workflow creates your Spaces, plan a move before then: the Pencil Spaces API and our Zapier integration do the same job.

What can the Pipedream integration do?

It has one action that creates something, Create A Space, plus three lookup actions for owners, sites and Spaces to clone. Pencil Spaces doesn’t offer Pipedream triggers yet; start from any other trigger.

Can I start from a template?

Yes. Choose an existing Space to clone when you create a new one.

Who do I ask for help?

For questions about Pipedream itself, contact Pipedream. For anything in the classroom, our team is here 24/7.

Which Pencil Spaces plans include API access?

API access comes with our usage-based and Enterprise plans. Talk to our team about the right fit, including API access during a free trial.

Who can create the API key?

Institution Admins, in Settings › API & Integrations. The key is shown only once.
