Overview of Google Calendar#
The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
Connect Google Calendar#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_calendar: {
type: "app",
app: "google_calendar",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_calendar.$auth.oauth_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!

url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
