Withings Overview#

Withings API lets you tap into health and wellness data from Withings devices like smart scales, watches, and sleep trackers. The API enables you to fetch measurements such as weight, activity, sleep, and heart rate data. This data can inform personal health apps, trigger notifications for health milestones, or integrate with health coaching platforms. By leveraging Pipedream's power, you can automate workflows that react to this data, enriching user profiles, informing coaching decisions, or driving wellness-focused communities and challenges.

Trigger Code#

import withings from "../../withings.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "withings-new-measure",
  name: "New Measure",
  description: "Emit new event for each created measure. [See docs here](https://developer.withings.com/api-reference#operation/measure-getmeas)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.3",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    withings,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const oneDayInSeconds = 24 * 60 * 60; // hours * minutes * seconds
    const oneDayAgo = Math.round((new Date().getTime() / 1000) - oneDayInSeconds);
    const measures = await this.withings.getMeasures({
      params: {
        lastupdate: oneDayAgo,
      },
    });

    for (const measure of measures) {
      this.$emit(measure, {
        id: measure.grpid,
        summary: `New measure ${measure.grpid}`,
        ts: Date.parse(measure.created),
      });
    }
  },
};

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
Withings	`withings`	`app`	This component uses the Withings app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

user.metricsuser.activity

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!

      default: false,
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
