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 Plain API
Setup the Slack API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Plain API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Slack and Plain 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!

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({

},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {

Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Plain#
The Plain API provides functionality for automating customer support tasks, such as managing conversations, customers, and team inboxes. Within Pipedream, you can leverage these features to create custom workflows that respond to events from your app or external services, triggering actions in Plain. By integrating the Plain API with Pipedream, you can enhance customer support efficiency, streamline communication, and keep customer data synchronized across platforms.
