Slack
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.
Integrate the Slack API with the HTTP / Webhook API
Setup the Slack API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the HTTP / Webhook API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Slack and HTTP / Webhook remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Popular Ways to Connect Slack with HTTP / Webhook#
Popular Slack and HTTP / Webhook Triggers#
Emit new event when a new message is posted to one or more channels
Get a URL and emit the full HTTP event on every request (including headers and query parameters). You can also configure the HTTP response code, body, and more.
Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request

Popular Slack and HTTP / Webhook Actions#
Send a message to a public or private channel. See the documentation
Configure custom blocks and send to a channel, group, or user. See the documentation.
Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.
Send a message as a threaded reply. See postMessage or scheduleMessage docs here
Send an HTTP GET request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.
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 HTTP / Webhook#
Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.
Point and click HTTP requests
Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.
Focus on integrating, not authenticating
This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.
Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.
Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python
The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.
Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.
Connect HTTP / Webhook#
// To use any npm package on Pipedream, just import it
import axios from "axios"
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const { data } = await axios({
method: "GET",
url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/charizard",
})
return data.species
},
})
