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. When 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}`,
},
})
},
})
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that provides secure
file transfers over secure shell (SSH) connections. It is an extension of the
Secure Shell protocol, designed for secure file exchange between hosts. A user
can securely transfer files between systems without having to worry about
external threats, as the protocol is encrypted and authenticated.
With the SFTP API, you can build applications that securely transfer data, such
as files and documents, between two different systems. Some example
applications include:
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
sftp_password_based_auth: {
type: "app",
app: "sftp_password_based_auth",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const Client = require('ssh2-sftp-client');
const {
host,
username,
password,
} = this.sftp_password_based_auth.$auth
const config = {
host,
username,
password,
}
const sftp = new Client()
await sftp.connect(config)
this.cwd = await sftp.cwd();
return await sftp.end();
},
})
