Twist Overview#

Twist is a communication app designed for team collaboration, with a focus on organized, threaded conversations. Using the Twist API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows to enhance productivity, streamline communication, and integrate with other tools. From automating notifications to syncing tasks across platforms, the API unlocks valuable use cases for teams needing to stay in sync without the noise of email or less structured chat apps.

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
Twist	`twist`	`app`	This component uses the Twist app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Event Type	`eventType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Workspace Added", "value": "workspace_added" }{ "label": "Workspace Updated", "value": "workspace_updated" }{ "label": "Workspace User Added", "value": "workspace_user_added" }{ "label": "Workspace User Updated", "value": "workspace_user_updated" }{ "label": "Workspace User Removed", "value": "workspace_user_removed" }{ "label": "Channel Added", "value": "channel_added" }{ "label": "Channel Updated", "value": "channel_updated" }{ "label": "Channel Deleted", "value": "channel_deleted" }{ "label": "Channel User Added", "value": "channel_user_added" }{ "label": "Channel User Removed", "value": "channel_user_removed" }{ "label": "Thread Added", "value": "thread_added" }{ "label": "Thread Updated", "value": "thread_updated" }{ "label": "Thread Deleted", "value": "thread_deleted" }{ "label": "Comment Added", "value": "comment_added" }{ "label": "Comment Updated", "value": "comment_updated" }{ "label": "Comment Deleted", "value": "comment_deleted" }{ "label": "Message Added", "value": "message_added" }{ "label": "Message Updated", "value": "message_updated" }{ "label": "Group Added", "value": "group_added" }{ "label": "Group Updated", "value": "group_updated" }{ "label": "Group Deleted", "value": "group_deleted" }{ "label": "Group User Added", "value": "group_user_added" }{ "label": "Group User Removed", "value": "group_user_removed" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

user:writeuser:readworkspaces:writeworkspaces:readchannels:removechannels:writechannels:readthreads:removethreads:writethreads:readcomments:removecomments:writecomments:readgroups:removegroups:writegroups:readmessages:removemessages:writemessages:readreactions:removereactions:writereactions:readsearch:readattachments:writeattachments:readnotifications:writenotifications:read

Python Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import python from "../../python.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Run Python Code",
  version: "0.0.3",
  annotations: {
    destructiveHint: false,
    openWorldHint: true,
    readOnlyHint: false,
