Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.
Emit new event when a new message is posted to one or more channels
Emit new event for each new message in an AMQP 1.0 queue. See the library example here.
Emit new event when a message was posted in a direct message channel
Emit new events on new Slack interactivity events sourced from Block Kit interactive elements, Slash commands, or Shortcuts.
Send a message to a user, group, private channel or public channel. See the documentation
Send a new message to an AMQP 1.0 queue. See the library example here.
Configure custom blocks and send to a channel, group, or user. See the documentation.
Send a message as a threaded reply. See postMessage or scheduleMessage docs here
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.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
slack: {
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}`,
},
})
},
})
AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is a flexible protocol designed for high-performance messaging. Integrating the AMQP API within Pipedream workflows allows for robust messaging capabilities between various systems and services. You can use it to queue tasks, run asynchronous job processing, and facilitate communication between different parts of your application or different applications altogether. AMQP's reliability and standardization make it a go-to choice for enterprise-level messaging patterns.
export default defineComponent({
props: {
aqmp: {
type: "app",
app: "amqp",
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Access required authentication info via:
// this.aqmp.$auth.host
// this.aqmp.$auth.post
// this.aqmp.$auth.username
// this.aqmp.$auth.password
},
})
