Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Message In Channels (Instant) on Slack

Description:Emit new event when a new message is posted to one or more channels

Version:1.0.25

Key:slack-new-message-in-channels

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the 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 app for Slack 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!

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Channels	`conversations`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
	`slackApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`
Resolve Names	`resolveNames`	`boolean`	Instead of returning `channel`, `team`, and `user` as IDs, return their human-readable names.

Trigger Authentication#

Slack uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Slack account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Slack and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Slack API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

channels:historychannels:readchannels:writeemoji:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writestars:readteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:userfiles:write:userfiles:readcommandsusers.profile:writeusers.profile:readsearch:read

About 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.

Data Gradient Style	`dataGradientStyle`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`HorizontalVerticalDiagonalReverseDiagonalRadialEye_HorizontalEye_VerticalEye_DiagonalEye_ReverseDiagonalEye_RadialNone`
Data Gradient Start Color	`dataGradientStartColor`	`string`	Parameter valid and required only if poster.url is not specified. Use this parameter to EITHER add a color (in hex format #000000) to all data modules (if data_gradient_style is set to None) OR to add the start color to data modules (if data_gradient_style is not set to None).
Data Gradient End Color	`dataGradientEndColor`	`string`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is not specified and data_gradient_style is not set to None. Use this parameter to set the end color (in hex format #000000) to data modules.

Background Color	`backgroundColor`	`string`	Parameter valid and required only if poster.url is not specified. Use this parameter to specify color (in hex format #000000) of the QR Codes' background including non-dark data modules. To remove background (i.e. make transparent), use value false. Tip: For highest scannability keep the background color as white i.e. #FFFFFF.
Logo URL	`logoUrl`	`string`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is not specified. Use this field if you want to design the QR Code with the 'Custom with Logo' feature. Otherwise, skip. Enter the URL of the image you want as a logo. Tip: Ensure the image source allows cross-domain access. Or simply use the Media feature to upload image and get URL or choose from our list of ready-made logos and icons. See the full list here
Logo Size	`logoSize`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Enter the size of the logo image as a percentage (%) of size of logo. Tip: High logo size may make the QR Code unscannable. Test thoroughly before finalizing.
Logo Excavated	`logoExcavated`	`boolean`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Use this paramater to specify if the blocks around the logo should be remove (true) or should not be removed (false) Tip: If selecting true, set error correction to a higher-level to ensure loss of blocks doesn't affect scannability.
Logo Angle	`logoAngle`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Use this parameter if you wish to rotate the image at an angle. Use values 1-359 (degrees) for clockwise rotation and -1 to -359 (degrees) for anti-clockwise rotation.
Logo Cache	`logoCache`	`boolean`	Parameter valid and required only if logo.url is specified. By default, it will be set to True. When set to True, the logo image provided will be cached for 10 minutes to improve performance. Set to False only if the image uploaded in the URL provided in logo.url field will change frequently, else skip.
Poster URL	`posterUrl`	`string`	Use this field if you want to design the QR Code with the 'Custom with Background' feature. Otherwise, skip. Enter the URL of the image you want as a background image. Tip: Ensure the image source allows cross-domain access. Or simply use the Media feature to upload image and get URL.
Poster Left	`posterLeft`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you position the QR Code from the left edge of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the distance between the left-edge of the image and the centre of the QR Code.Tip: Value 50 is placing the QR Code in the centre of the background image in terms of image width.
Poster Top	`posterTop`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you position the QR Code from the top edge of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the distance between the top-edge of the image and the centre of the QR Code.Tip: Value 50 is placing the QR Code in the centre of the background image in terms of image height.
Poster Size	`posterSize`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you specify the size of the QR Code relative to the size of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the ratio of QR Code size and Uploaded Image size.
Poster Eye Shape	`posterEyeshape`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`RECT_RECTROUND_RECTRECT_CIRCROUNDRECT_CIRCCIRC_CIRCBR_LEAFTR_LEAFBL_LEAFTL_LEAFTLBR_LEAFTRBL_LEAFTRBL_LEAF_CIRCTLBR_LEAF_CIRCTRBL_LEAF_DIADRECT_DIADUNI_LEAFBLOAT_RECTWARP_RECT0CURVE_RECTDIST_RECTZIGZAGWARP_RECT1BLACK_HOLESTARGRIDSCIONOCTAGONFLOWERHUTDARK_HUT`
