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

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 KnowFirst#
The KnowFirst API enables users to tap into a wealth of news and information by categorizing articles and providing insights based on content and trends. In Pipedream, you can harness this API to trigger workflows from new content alerts, analyze news data, or integrate with other apps to keep your team informed about relevant industry updates. By creating serverless workflows, you can automate actions based on the info received from KnowFirst, such as sending notifications, updating databases, or generating reports.
