Statuscake Overview#

StatusCake provides a powerful API that allows you to automate the monitoring of your websites and servers. With this API on Pipedream, you can create workflows that respond to uptime events, performance metrics, and maintain a robust oversight of your web infrastructure's health. The API enables you to automate alerting, integrate with other tools for a seamless DevOps ecosystem, and perform actions based on the status of your monitored endpoints.

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
Statuscake	`statuscake`	`app`	This component uses the Statuscake app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Uptime ID	`uptimeId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Statuscake uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Statuscake account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Statuscake APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Generate your Statuscake API Key by going to your Account Details tab within StatusCake and then clicking the API Key button.

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!

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
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Text	`text`	`string`	Text of the message to send (see Slack's formatting docs). This field is usually necessary, unless you're providing only attachments instead.

User	`user`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action 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:usercommandsusers.profile:writeusers.profile:read
