Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Hippo Video Overview

The Hippo Video API lets you harness the power of video in your business processes. Through Pipedream, you can automate video creation, management, and distribution workflows. This means you can trigger actions in Hippo Video based on events from other apps, or use Hippo Video events to kick off processes elsewhere. Whether it's automating video emails in your CRM, monitoring video analytics, or managing video content at scale, Pipedream's serverless platform empowers you to build and run workflows seamlessly.

Trigger Authentication

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

Hippo Video requires their users enter their email in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to Hippo Video’s documentation.

To retrieve your API key,

  • Navigate to your Hippo Video and sign in
  • Go to “Profile Settings” > “API Key”

Slack Overview

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once 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!

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
