Overview of Slack#
The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream 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 Slack app 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!
Connect Slack#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {

type: "app",
app: "slack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Amazon Alexa#
The Amazon Alexa API connects your Pipedream workflows to Alexa's smart capabilities, enabling you to build voice-driven interactions and extend the functionality of Alexa Skills. Interact with users through their Alexa devices, manage and update Skills, or harness Alexa's smart home control. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that respond to Alexa events, trigger actions in other services, or process voice commands for custom outcomes.
