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: {
    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}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of DeskTime#

The DeskTime API enables you to hook into vital data concerning productivity tracking, employee attendance, and project management. Integrating this API with Pipedream allows you to automate workflows, synchronize productivity data with other tools, and trigger actions based on team performance metrics. For instance, you can set up a system that notifies a project manager when an employee logs overtime or integrates time tracking data with payroll software.

      params: {
        apiKey: `${this.desktime.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })

Airtable Webhooks with Slack + Pipedream

We love Airtable here at Pipedream. But Airtable lacks one killer feature — webhooks. We took advantage of Airtable’s Slack notifications and built a way to send webhooks to an HTTP endpoint every time a record is created or updated in a base. It takes 10 minutes to setup and it’s free.
