async (params, auths) => {
  const data = {
  channel: params.channel,
  text: params.text,
  as_user: params.as_user,
  attachments: params.attachments,
  blocks: params.blocks,
  icon_emoji: params.icon_emoji,
  icon_url: params.icon_url,

Error

TypeError
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘bind’)

can you help format this code into the proper Pipedream Node.js code step format?

Sure, I can help you with that. Here’s how you can format your code into the Pipedream Node.js code step format: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, channel: { type: “string”, label: “Channel”, }, text: { type: “string”, label: “Text”, }, as_user: { type: “boolean”, label: “As User”, optional: true, }, attachments: { type: “string[]”, label: “Attachments”, optional: true, }, blocks: { type: “string[]”, label: “Blocks”, optional: true, }, icon_emoji: { type: “string”, label: “Icon Emoji”, optional: true, }, icon_url: { type: “string”, label: “Icon URL”, optional: true, }, link_names: { type: “boolean”, label: “Link Names”, optional: true, }, mrkdwn: { type: “boolean”, label: “Markdown”, optional: true, }, parse: { type: “string”, label: “Parse”, optional: true, }, reply_broadcast: { type: “boolean”, label: “Reply Broadcast”, optional: true, }, thread_ts: { type: “string”, label: “Thread TS”, optional: true, }, unfurl_links: { type: “boolean”, label: “Unfurl Links”, optional: true, }, unfurl_media: { type: “boolean”, label: “Unfurl Media”, optional: true, }, username: { type: “string”, label: “Username”, optional: true, }, }, async run({ $ }) { const data = { channel: this.channel, text: this.text, as_user: this.as_user, attachments: this.attachments, blocks: this.blocks, icon_emoji: this.icon_emoji, icon_url: this.icon_url, link_names:

So I need to replace the exisisting code with above one right?

Yes, that’s correct. You should replace your existing code with the one I provided. It’s formatted to work with Pipedream’s Node.js code step format. Please make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual data. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask.

I am not a developer so I didn’t know to replace the placeholders with your actual data. As the code I provided can you check the values and share the new one?

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Here’s the updated code with the placeholders replaced with the values from your original code: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, channel: { type: “string”, label: “Channel”, default: params.channel, }, text: { type: “string”, label: “Text”, default: params.text, }, as_user: { type: “boolean”, label: “As User”, default: params.as_user, optional: true, }, attachments: { type: “string[]”, label: “Attachments”, default: params.attachments, optional: true, }, blocks: { type: “string[]”, label: “Blocks”, default: params.blocks, optional: true, }, icon_emoji: { type: “string”, label: “Icon Emoji”, default: params.icon_emoji, optional: true, }, icon_url: { type: “string”, label: “Icon URL”, default: params.icon_url, optional: true, }, link_names: { type: “boolean”, label: “Link Names”, default: params.link_names, optional: true, }, mrkdwn: { type: “boolean”, label: “Markdown”, default: params.mrkdwn, optional: true, }, parse: { type: “string”, label: “Parse”, default: params.parse, optional: true, }, reply_broadcast: { type: “boolean”, label: “Reply Broadcast”, default: params.reply_broadcast, optional: true, }, thread_ts: { type: “string”, label: “Thread TS”, default: params.thread_ts, optional: true, }, unfurl_links: { type: “boolean”, label: “Unfurl Links”, default: params.unfurl_links, optional: true, }, unfurl_media: { type: “boolean”, label: “Unfurl Media”, default: params.unfurl_media, optional

I have dout , in the code you provided, where did you configuered this section?

const config = {
  method: "post",
  url: `https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage`,
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${auths.slack.oauth_access_token}`,
  },
  data,

The configuration section you’re referring to is used to set up the HTTP request that will be sent to the Slack API. Here’s how it’s configured in the context of a Pipedream component: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", }, channel: { type: "string", label: "Channel", description: "The channel to post the message to", }, text: { type: "string", label: "Message Text", description: "The text of the message to post", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: { channel: this.channel, text: this.text, }, }); }, }); In this code: - method: "POST" specifies that we’re making a POST request. - url: "https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage" is the URL we’re sending the request to, which is the Slack API endpoint for posting a message. - headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token} } sets the Authorization header to include the OAuth access token from the Slack app configuration in Pipedream. - data: { channel: this.channel, text: this.text } is the payload of the request, which includes the channel to post the message to and the text of the message. These values are taken from the props defined in the component.
