Overview of Ably#
Ably API provides a platform for adding real-time messaging, streaming, and presence capabilities to your apps. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create dynamic, event-driven workflows. Automate notifications, synchronize data across systems in real time, or react to Ably events to trigger actions in other services, like sending emails, updating databases, or calling external APIs.
Connect Ably#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ably: {
type: "app",
app: "ably",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://rest.ably.io/channels/rest-example/messages`,
auth: {
username: `${this.ably.$auth.api_key_initial}`,
password: `${this.ably.$auth.api_key_remaining}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Slack#
The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions, or write your own code against the Slack API.
The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.
- Automate posting updates to your team channels
- Create a bot to answer common questions
- Integrate with your existing tools and services
- And much more!
