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 OpenGraph.io API enables you to fetch Open Graph data from websites, which is useful for previewing content like images, titles, and descriptions the way social platforms do. Integrating OpenGraph.io with Pipedream allows you to automate the retrieval of this data in response to various triggers and to use it in workflows that involve other apps and services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
opengraph_io: {
type: "app",
app: "opengraph_io",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://opengraph.io/api/1.1/site/https%3A%2F%2Fpipedream.com`,
params: {
app_id: `${this.opengraph_io.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
