Hi team,
Wondering if someone can help me on this ? I’m wondering if it’s possible to call up a webhook to activate another pipedream workflow from a slack button?
cheers
Hi @ohedborg,
Yes, it’s possible to trigger a Pipedream workflow from a Slack button using a webhook. First, you’ll need to create a new workflow with an HTTP trigger in Pipedream. This will give you a unique webhook URL that you can use to trigger the workflow.
Next, you’ll need to set up a Slack app with interactive components, such as buttons. In the Slack app settings, enable “Interactivity & Shortcuts” and provide the “Request URL” field with the webhook URL from your Pipedream workflow.
When a user clicks the button in Slack, it will send a payload to the webhook URL, triggering your Pipedream workflow. You can then process the payload and perform any desired actions within the workflow.
For more information on working with Slack in Pipedream, you can refer to the Slack integration documentation: https://pipedream.com/apps/slack
And for more details on creating workflows with HTTP triggers, check out this guide: https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/triggers/http/
This is the response on Pipedream support chat bot @Mario on Slack. You can join Pipedream Slack to ask it any question
You can actually use the built-in trigger that will handle most of that logic for you! There is more info, including a tutorial on setting this up here:
