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.

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}`,
},
})
},
})
The IP2Location.io API enables you to identify a user's geographical location based on their IP address. With it, you can fetch details like country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain, and more. On Pipedream, this becomes a powerful tool to enrich event data, customize user experiences based on location, or even detect suspicious activities by comparing known user locations to new, anomalous ones. Since Pipedream can connect to countless APIs, you can automate processes that depend on geolocation information, triggering actions across different services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ip2location_io: {
type: "app",
app: "ip2location_io",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ip2location.io/`,
params: {
key: `${this.ip2location_io.$auth.api_key}`,
ip: `{{your_ip_address}}`,
},
})
},
})
