Overview of Slack#

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When 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 Google Docs#

The Google Docs API allows you to create, read, and update Google Docs programmatically, enabling a wide range of automations and integrations with other apps and services. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to craft custom serverless workflows that trigger on various events, like form submissions, emails, or scheduled times, and perform actions like updating a document, extracting content, or even generating templated reports.

Connect Google Docs#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    google_docs: {
      type: "app",
      app: "google_docs",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_docs.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },

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.
