BoxHero Overview#

The BoxHero API provides tools to manage inventory in a streamlined and efficient way. By integrating with Pipedream, you can automate inventory tracking, update stock levels in real-time, and synchronize data across platforms. Create powerful workflows that trigger actions based on inventory changes, connect to other apps for a seamless operation, or analyze inventory data for smarter decision-making.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
BoxHero	`boxhero`	`app`	This component uses the BoxHero app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Transaction Type	`transactionType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "value": "in", "label": "Stock In" }{ "value": "out", "label": "Stock Out" }{ "value": "adjust", "label": "Adjust" }{ "value": "move", "label": "Move (exclusive to Location Mode)" }`

Trigger Authentication#

BoxHero uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your BoxHero account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to BoxHero APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Slack Overview#

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

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Channel	`conversation`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

Slack uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Slack account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Slack and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Slack API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
