Overview of Backendless#

Backendless is a visual app development platform that allows developers to create mobile and web apps without needing to manage the backend infrastructure. It offers features like database management, user authentication, real-time data, and serverless hosting. With the Backendless API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows, sync data across apps, process data triggers, and handle user actions in real-time. It's perfect for extending app capabilities, integrating with third-party services, and automating repetitive tasks.

Connect Backendless#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    backendless: {
      type: "app",
      app: "backendless",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.backendless.$auth.subdomain}.backendless.app/api/users/${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_uid}`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
        "user-token": `${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Slack#

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once 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!

Connect Slack#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    slack: {
      type: "app",
      app: "slack",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Airtable Webhooks with Slack + Pipedream

We love Airtable here at Pipedream. But Airtable lacks one killer feature — webhooks. We took advantage of Airtable’s Slack notifications and built a way to send webhooks to an HTTP endpoint every time a record is created or updated in a base. It takes 10 minutes to setup and it’s free.
