Overview of Planning Center#
The Planning Center API offers a suite of church management features, allowing for the seamless coordination of events, services, and resources. With Pipedream, you can automate tasks, sync data across different platforms, and create dynamic workflows that save time and reduce errors. This can include managing attendees, coordinating service schedules, tracking donations, and more. Pipedream's serverless platform connects with the Planning Center API to create workflows that trigger on new data, process and transform data, and automate communication and organizational tasks.
Connect Planning Center#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
planning_center: {
type: "app",
app: "planning_center",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.planningcenteronline.com/people/v2/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.planning_center.$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!

return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
