Overview of Mandrill#
Mandrill, a transactional email API for Mailchimp, empowers developers to easily send personalized, one-to-one e-commerce emails, or automated transactional emails. With Pipedream, you can harness Mandrill's capabilities to create powerful automations that trigger on various events, like updating databases on email delivery, syncing with CRM systems when users interact with your emails, or even conducting sentiment analysis on email content for customer support insights.
Connect Mandrill#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mandrill: {
type: "app",
app: "mandrill",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json`,
data: {
key: this.mandrill.$auth.api_key,
message: {
html: params.html,
text: params.text,
subject: params.subject,
from_email: params.from_email,
from_name: params.from_name,
to: [{
email: params.email,
name: params.name,
type: params.type || "to",
}]
}
}
})
},
})
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!
Connect Slack#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
slack: {
type: "app",
app: "slack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
