How to Configure a Slack Discussion Using a Github Repository with Pipedream and Axios?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

do the following for slack discussions :
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default defineComponent({
name: “Source Demo”,
description: “This is a demo source”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
timer: {
type: “$.interface.timer”,
default: {
intervalSeconds: 15 * 60,
},
},
repoName: {
// Adding a new prop for repository name
type: “string”,
label: “Repository Name”,
description:
“Enter the name of the GitHub repository in the format ‘username/repo’”,
},
},
dedupe: “greatest”,
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let github_token = “”;
const data = await axios($, {
method: “get”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${github_token},
},
url: https://api.github.com/repos/${this.repoName}/issues, // Using the repoName prop
});
data.forEach((issue) => {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
body: issue.body, // Including the issue body
ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
});
},
});

It seems like you’re asking for a modification of a GitHub integration example to work with Slack discussions instead. However, the provided code snippet and your request focus on GitHub issues. To align with your request for Slack discussions, we’ll need to adjust the focus from GitHub to Slack, as there’s no direct correlation between GitHub issues and Slack discussions in terms of API endpoints. Slack discussions can happen in various contexts, such as messages within channels or direct messages. There isn’t a direct “discussion” endpoint in Slack’s API, but you can work with messages in channels or groups. If you’re looking to post messages to a Slack channel based on GitHub issues, you would first need to fetch issues from GitHub as your code snippet suggests, then post these as messages to a Slack channel. However, your request doesn’t specify exactly how you want to integrate Slack discussions with GitHub issues. Given the context, here’s a basic example of how you could post a message to a Slack channel using Pipedream’s Slack app integration. This example does not directly integrate with GitHub but demonstrates how to send a message to Slack, which could be adapted to post GitHub issues information to a Slack channel. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const channel = "your-channel-id"; // Replace with your Slack channel ID const message = "Hello, world!"; // This could be dynamic based on GitHub issues return await axios($, { method: "post", url: `https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: { channel: channel, text: message, }, }); }, }); To tailor this to your needs, you would need to fetch GitHub issues as your original code does, then iterate over those issues and use the Slack API to post each issue’s details to a Slack channel. Remember to replace "your-channel-id" with the actual ID of the Slack channel where you want to post messages. If you have a more specific use case or need further customization, please provide additional details!

how to get the messages in a channel

To get messages from a channel, you can use pre-built actions for the specific platform (e.g., Slack, Discord) if available on Pipedream, or you can use a custom Node.js code step to call the platform’s API directly. Since the platform (e.g., Slack, Discord) wasn’t specified, I’ll provide a general approach using Slack as an example. If you’re working with a different platform, the approach will be similar but will require the appropriate API documentation for that platform. ### Using Slack Pre-built Action 1. Search for the Slack app in the Pipedream UI. 2. Look for a pre-built action like “Get Messages from a Channel” (Note: The exact name might vary. This is a hypothetical example for illustration purposes). 3. Configure the action by connecting your Slack account and selecting the channel from which you want to retrieve messages. ### Using Custom Node.js Code Step If a pre-built action doesn’t exist for your needs, you can use a custom Node.js code step to call the Slack API directly to get messages from a channel. First, ensure you have the necessary OAuth scopes granted to your Slack app, such as channels:history for public channels or groups:history for private channels. Here’s an example of how you might write a Node.js code step to get messages from a Slack channel: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform" export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", } }, async run({steps, $}) { const channelId = "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID"; // Replace with your channel ID const response = await axios($, { url: `https://slack.com/api/conversations.history`, method: "GET", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, params: { channel: channelId, }, }); return response.data.messages; // This will return the messages from the specified channel }, }) Replace "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID" with the actual ID of the channel from which you want to retrieve messages. This code uses the Slack conversations.history API to fetch messages from a specified channel. Ensure that your Slack app has the necessary permissions and that you’ve connected your Slack account in Pipedream. If you’re working with a different platform
