Overview#

The Gitter API enables your bots to perform automated actions within Gitter chat rooms. From sending messages to fetching conversation histories, the Gitter API serves as a bridge to interact with Gitter programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger on specific events in Gitter, process data, and connect to countless other services to achieve a wide array of tasks. These can range from notifications and chatbots to complex integrations with project management tools or CRMs.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    gitter: {
      type: "app",
      app: "gitter",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.gitter.im/v1/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.gitter.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Streamline Incident Reporting: Automatically send alerts into a Gitter room from monitoring tools like Datadog or Sentry when an incident occurs. The workflow can include formatting the alert with essential details, tagging the relevant team members, and even creating a follow-up task in a project management tool like Jira.
Daily Digests and Reminders: Compile a daily digest of messages from specified Gitter rooms and send them out via email using SendGrid. Additionally, set up reminders for upcoming events or deadlines by reading from a Google Calendar and posting messages back into Gitter.
Chatbot Integration for Task Management: Create a chatbot that listens for specific commands or keywords in Gitter chat rooms. When triggered, the chatbot can create tasks in Trello, schedule events in Google Calendar, or update a record in Airtable, all depending on the context of the conversation.

Authentication#

Name Slug: gitter

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

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

OAuth Request Configurations:
