Overview of ChatBot#
Leverage the ChatBot API on Pipedream to automate conversations, streamline customer service, and connect chat functionality with various apps for rich, responsive interaction. With this API, you can programmatically send messages, manage chat histories, and implement chatbots that react to user input in real-time. By integrating with Pipedream, these capabilities can be augmented with thousands of apps, enabling seamless data flow and complex automations.
Connect ChatBot#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
chatbot: {
type: "app",
app: "chatbot",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.chatbot.com/stories`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.chatbot.$auth.developer_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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!
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}`,
},
})
},
})
