Overview of Dropbox#
The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.
Connect Dropbox#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
dropbox: {
type: "app",
app: "dropbox",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"account_id": `${this.dropbox.$auth.oauth_uid}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_account`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.dropbox.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
data,
})
},
})
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!
