Overview of Slack 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.

Connect Slack Bot#

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',
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
