Overview of Slack Bot

Slack Bot APIs offer powerful and flexible ways to automate repetitive tasks
and integrate workflows from various services. With the help of these APIs, it
is possible to develop Slack bots capable of exiting and entering specific
channels as well as performing various actions requested from users.

A Slack bot can be used to automate specific tasks and carry out routine admin
jobs such as checking the team’s working time, organizing team meetings,
managing customer inquiries and so on. These bots can be programmed to inform
the members of the team when tasks are completed. Some of the examples of what
you can create using the Slack Bot APIs are:

  • Automated reminders
  • Productivity and time tracking
  • Data analysis and processing
  • Internal communication releases
  • Integrations with external tools and services
  • Conversation and inquiry management
  • Automation of customer service
  • Scheduling and tracking of tasks
  • Personalised customer recommendations

Building a Google Sheets Twitter Bot with Pipedream
Building a Google Sheets Twitter Bot with Pipedream
This is something that's been kicking around my head for a week or so and today I thought I'd try it. It ended up taking about 20 minutes total and 10 lines of code, of which 5 are a function I copied and pasted. While what I built is kind of trivial, I'm blown away by how much was done by built-in functions with Pipedream and how little work I had to do myself. In fact, most of my time was spent in setting stuff up outside of Pipedream itself. Alright, so what did I build?
Building a Twitter Scheduling System with Pipedream and Google Sheets
Building a Twitter Scheduling System with Pipedream and Google Sheets
A few months ago, I blogged about how I used Pipedream and Google Sheets to create a Twitter bot. The idea was simple - read a sheet - select a random row - and use that as the source of a new Tweet. I was thinking about this recently and how useful Google Sheets can be as a "light weight CMS" and figured out another interesting use case - Twitter scheduling.
Logging user credit changes using Google Sheets and Pipedream
Logging user credit changes using Google Sheets and Pipedream
One of the nice features SuperSaaS is a credit system which allows end-users to buy credit once and then easily pay for appointments without needing to go through the checkout each time. There are multiple things that can affect a credit balance. Credit purchases and new appointment, obviously, but also refunds due to canceled appointments, and manual credit adjustments by a superuser. This post is a step-by-step tutorial for setting up the logging of user credit information to a Google Sheet using Pipedream, a powerful API integration service.
