Integrate the PostgreSQL API with the Slack API

Setup the PostgreSQL API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Slack API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate PostgreSQL and Slack remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Assuming you want a few paragraphs on what you can do with the PostgreSQL API:

The following examples demonstrate some of the things that can be done with the
PostgreSQL API:

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    postgresql: {
      type: "app",
      app: "postgresql",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const { Client } = require('pg')
    
    const { host, user, password, port, database } = this.postgresql.$auth
    
    const client = new Client({
      host,
      database,
      user,
      password,
      port,
    })
    
    await client.connect()
    this.results = (await client.query("SELECT NOW()")).rows
    await client.end()
  },
})

With the Slack API, you can build all sorts of integrations and applications to
make your work life easier. Here are just a few examples:

      app: "slack",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
