Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a new channel is created.
Version:0.0.11
Key:slack_v2-new-channel-created

Slack Overview

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream app for Slack is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

  • Automate posting updates to your team channels
  • Create a bot to answer common questions
  • Integrate with your existing tools and services
  • And much more!

Trigger Code

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "slack_v2-new-channel-created",
  name: "New Channel Created (Instant)",
  version: "0.0.11",
  description: "Emit new event when a new channel is created.",
  type: "source",

  props: {
    ...common.props,

      appProp: "slack",
      async eventNames() {

        ];
      },
    },

    ...common.methods,
    getSummary({ channel: { name } }) {
      return `New channel created - ${name}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Trigger Authentication

Slack uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Slack account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Slack and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Slack API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

chat:writechat:write.customizechat:write.publicfiles:read

Puppeteer Overview

Puppeteer is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.

Using Puppeteer you can perform tasks including:

  • Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
  • Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
  • Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
  • UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
  • Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
  • Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
  • Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
  • Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.
