New Message In Channels (Instant) on Slack

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

Version:1.0.22

Key:slack-new-message-in-channels

Slack Overview#

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!

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.
Ignore Bots	`ignoreBot`	`boolean`	Ignore messages from bots
Ignore replies in threads	`ignoreThreads`	`boolean`	Ignore replies to messages in threads

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:

bookmarks:writecalls:readcalls:writechannels:historychannels:readchannels:writednd:readdnd:writeemoji:readfiles:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writepins:readpins:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writeremote_files:readremote_files:sharestars:readstars:writeteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:usercommandsfiles:write:userusers.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.

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
Form	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Query	`query`	`string`	Limit request to only responses that include the specified string. The string will be escaped and it will be matched against all answers fields, hidden fields and variables values.
Page size	`pageSize`	`integer`	Maximum number of responses. Maximum value is 1000. If your typeform has more than 1000 responses, use the `since`/`until` or `before`/`after` parameters to narrow the scope of your request.
Since	`since`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted since the specified date and time. Could be passed as int (timestamp in seconds) or in ISO 8601 format, UTC time, to the second, with `T` as a delimiter between the date and time (`2020-03-20T14:00:59`).
Until	`until`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted until the specified date and time. Could be passed as int (timestamp in seconds) or in ISO 8601 format, UTC time, to the second, with `T` as a delimiter between the date and time (`2020-03-20T14:00:59`).
After	`after`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted after the specified token. Could not be used together with `sort` parameter, as it sorts responses in the order that the system processed them (`submitted_at`). This ensures that you can traverse the complete set of responses without repeating entries.
Before	`before`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted before the specified token. Could not be used together with `sort` parameter, as it sorts responses in the order that the system processed them (`submitted_at`). This ensures that you can traverse the complete set of responses without repeating entries.
