Trigger#

New Channel on Microsoft Teams

Description:Emit new event when a new channel is created within a team

Version:0.0.9

Microsoft Teams Overview#

The Microsoft Teams API on Pipedream allows you to automate tasks, streamline communication, and integrate with other services to enhance the functionality of Teams as a collaboration hub. With this API, you can send messages to channels, orchestrate complex workflows based on Teams events, and manage Teams' settings programmatically.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "microsoft_teams-new-channel",
  name: "New Channel",
  description: "Emit new event when a new channel is created within a team",
  version: "0.0.9",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...base.props,
    team: {
      propDefinition: [
        base.props.microsoftTeams,
        "team",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    async getResources(lastCreated) {
      return this.getNewPaginatedResources(
        this.microsoftTeams.listChannels,
        {
          teamId: this.team,
        },
        lastCreated,
      );
    },
    generateMeta(channel) {
      return {
        id: channel.id,
        summary: channel.displayName,
        ts: Date.parse(channel.createdDateTime),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Microsoft Teams	`microsoftTeams`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Teams app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule
Team	`team`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

User.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofileChat.ReadChat.ReadWriteChatMessage.SendChannel.ReadBasic.AllChannelMessage.Read.AllChannelMessage.SendTeam.ReadBasic.AllSchedule.Read.All

About Microsoft Teams#

Shotstack Overview#

The Shotstack API is a video editing platform that allows you to automate the creation and production of videos. With it, you can edit clips, add transitions, overlays, and backgrounds, and even include music in your videos. Integrating Shotstack with Pipedream can supercharge your workflow by automating the video creation process. You can trigger video edits in response to various events, manage assets, or even kick off rendering jobs based on data from other apps and services.
