Fauna Overview#

Fauna API offers a powerful serverless database solution for modern applications. Its unique capabilities allow for highly scalable, secure, and flexible data management. With Pipedream, you can harness the power of Fauna to create intricate serverless workflows that react to various triggers, manage data efficiently, and connect seamlessly with other services and APIs to automate complex tasks.

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
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Fauna	`fauna`	`app`	This component uses the Fauna app.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit changes as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all events are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each event in Fauna as its own event in Pipedream

Trigger Authentication#

Fauna uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Fauna account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Fauna 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.
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.
Timestamp	`timestamp`	`string`	When this reminder should happen: the Unix timestamp (up to five years from now), the number of seconds until the reminder (if within 24 hours), or a natural language description (Ex. in 15 minutes, or every Thursday)
Team	`team_id`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
User	`user`	`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:

chat:writechat:write.customizechat:write.publicfiles:read
