Overview of Vestaboard#
The Vestaboard API allows you to control a networked, mechanical split-flap display, enabling you to automate the content it shows. By integrating with Pipedream, you can develop serverless workflows that respond to various triggers (like incoming webhooks, emails, or scheduled timers) and push updates to your Vestaboard. You can dynamically display information such as meeting reminders, real-time performance metrics, or custom messages based on events from other apps and services.
Connect Vestaboard#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
vestaboard: {
type: "app",
app: "vestaboard",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://platform.vestaboard.com/viewer`,
headers: {
"X-Vestaboard-Api-Key": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_key}`,
"X-Vestaboard-Api-Secret": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_secret}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Slack#
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.
- Automate posting updates to your team channels
- Create a bot to answer common questions
- Integrate with your existing tools and services
- And much more!
