Interact with Slack with your own bot user
Emit new event when a message is posted in a direct message channel (Bot). To open a conversation, use the Pipedream Action "Send a Direct Message" to send a message from the Bot, or enable direct messages to the Bot in your App Settings (Settings->App Home->Show Tabs->Messages Tab), and send a direct message to the Bot.
The Slack Bot API allows you to build rich, interactive bots for Slack workspaces. These bots can respond to messages, post updates, and interact with users in various ways. With the Slack Bot API on Pipedream, developers can create automated workflows that trigger on specific events in Slack, such as new messages or reactions, and then perform defined actions, like sending data to other apps or processing the information within Pipedream's serverless platform. This tight integration with Pipedream enables both simple and complex automations, leveraging Pipedream's ability to connect with numerous apps and its powerful built-in code steps.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
slack_bot: {
type: "app",
app: "slack_bot",
},
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/auth.test`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack_bot.$auth.bot_token}`,
},
method: 'post',
})
},
})
The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.
import mongodb from 'mongodb'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mongodb: {
type: "app",
app: "mongodb",
},
collection: {
type: "string"
},
filter: {
type: "object"
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
const {
database,
hostname,
username,
password,
} = this.mongodb.$auth
const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
})
const db = client.db(database)
const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
$.export('results', results);
await client.close()
},
})
