15Five Overview#

The 15Five API enables you to build custom integrations and applications on top
of the 15Five platform. With the API, you can access data stored in 15Five,
including:

Users
Companies
Goals
Check-ins
Feedback
Recognition

You can use the API to build applications that help 15Five users manage their
work and achieve their goals. For example, you could build a custom integration
that links 15Five with another tool that your team uses, such as a project
management tool or a CRM. Or, you could build a custom application that helps
users track their progress on their goals, or provides them with recognition
for a job well done.

Whatever you build, the 15Five API gives you the power to customize the 15Five
experience for your users in a way that best meets their needs.

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
15Five	`f15five`	`app`	This component uses the 15Five app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
User	`user`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

15Five uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your 15Five account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to 15Five APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your 15Five account and sign in
Go to “Settings” at the top right > “Features” > “Integrations”> “Public API”

Slack Overview#

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 just makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Here are some examples of automations you can build with Pipedream on Slack:

Automate posting updates to your team channel
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
Build a custom dashboard to track your team's progress
Create a bot to handle scheduling and meeting requests
And much more!

Should I use the Slack or Slack Bot app on Pipedream?

The Slack app is the easiest and most convienent option to get started. It installs the official Pipedream bot into your Slack workspace with just a few clicks.

However, if you'd like to use your own bot registered with the Slack API, you can use the Slack Bot app instead.

The Slack Bot requires a bot token to allow your Pipedream workflows to authenticate as your bot. The extra set up steps allow you to list your custom bot on the Slack Marketplace, or install the bot on other workspaces as your bot's name instead of as Pipedream.

Channel ID	`conversation`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Text	`text`	`string`	Text of the message to send (see Slack's formatting docs). This field is usually necessary, unless you're providing only attachments instead.

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:

bookmarks:writecalls:readcalls:writechannels:historychannels:readchannels:writednd:readdnd:writeemoji:readfiles:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writepins:readpins:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writeremote_files:readremote_files:sharestars:readstars:writeteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:usercommandsfiles:write:userusers.profile:writeusers.profile:readsearch:read
