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.

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 Schedule#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
