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 Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
