I creating a workflow where one of the action is I need to invite a user to join our Slack workspace. How can I sent an invite using their email address?
To invite a user to join your Slack workspace using their email address, you can use the Slack API’s users.admin.invite method. Unfortunately, Pipedream does not have a pre-built action for inviting users to a Slack workspace directly. However, you can create a custom Pipedream component to achieve this. Here’s an example of how you can create a Pipedream component to invite a user to your Slack workspace: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, email: { type: “string”, label: “Email”, description: “The email address of the user to invite”, }, channels: { type: “string”, label: “Channels”, description: “Comma-separated list of channel IDs to invite the user to”, optional: true, }, resend: { type: “boolean”, label: “Resend”, description: “Whether to resend the invitation if the user has already been invited”, optional: true, default: false, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const response = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: “https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite”, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { email: this.email, channels: this.channels, resend: this.resend, }, }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(Error inviting user: ${response.error}); } return response; }, });

You should visit Pricing - Pipedream for the latest pricing, but I’ll do my best to answer. To invite a user to join your Slack workspace and add them to a single public Slack channel, you can use the Slack API to achieve this. Here’s how you can set up a Pipedream workflow to do this: 1. Invite the user to the Slack workspace using their email address. 2. Add the user to a specific public Slack channel. Below is a Pipedream component code example that demonstrates how to perform these actions: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, email: { type: “string”, label: “User Email”, }, channel: { type: “string”, label: “Channel ID”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Step 1: Invite the user to the Slack workspace const inviteResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: https://slack.com/api/admin.users.invite, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, data: { email: this.email, team_id: this.slack.$auth.team_id, }, }); if (!inviteResponse.ok) { throw new Error(Failed to invite user: ${inviteResponse.error}); } // Step 2: Find the user by email to get their user ID const findUserResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: https://slack.com/api/users.lookupByEmail, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, params: { email: this.email, }, }); if (!findUserResponse.ok) { throw new Error(Failed to find user: ${findUserResponse.error}); } const userId = findUserResponse.user.id; // Step 3: Add the user to the specified channel const addUserResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: `https://slack.com/api/conversations
how can I invite people to join in our slack workspace and add them into a specific channel using their email address
To invite people to join your Slack workspace and add them to a specific channel using their email address, you can use the Slack API and Pipedream components. Below are the steps and code snippets to achieve this: 1. Invite User to Slack Workspace: Use the Slack API to send an invitation to the user’s email address. 2. Add User to Specific Channel: Once the user has joined the workspace, you can add them to a specific channel. ### Step 1: Invite User to Slack Workspace Create a Pipedream component to invite a user to your Slack workspace using their email address. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", }, email: { type: "string", label: "Email Address", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { url: `https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite`, method: "POST", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: { email: this.email, }, }); }, }); ### Step 2: Add User to Specific Channel After the user has accepted the invitation and joined the workspace, you can add them to a specific channel. Use the Slack API to invite the user to the channel. ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, channel: { type: “string”, label: “Channel ID”, }, user: { type: “string”, label: “User ID”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { url: https://slack.com/api/conversations.invite, method: “POST”, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { channel: this.channel, users: this.user, }, }); }, });
I want to add a person to our slack workspace using their email and invite them into a specific channel
To add a person to your Slack workspace using their email and invite them into a specific channel, you can use the Slack API and Pipedream’s Slack integration. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: 1. Invite the user to the Slack workspace: Use the Slack API method users.admin.invite to invite the user to your workspace. 2. Invite the user to a specific channel: Use the Slack API method conversations.invite to invite the user to a specific channel. Below is a Pipedream component that accomplishes both tasks: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: “app”, app: “slack”, }, email: { type: “string”, label: “Email”, description: “The email of the user to invite to the Slack workspace”, }, channel: { type: “string”, label: “Channel ID”, description: “The ID of the channel to invite the user to”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Invite the user to the Slack workspace const inviteResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: “https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite”, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { email: this.email, }, }); if (!inviteResponse.ok) { throw new Error(Failed to invite user: ${inviteResponse.error}); } // Get the user ID of the invited user const userId = inviteResponse.user.id; // Invite the user to the specific channel const channelInviteResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: “https://slack.com/api/conversations.invite”, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { channel: this.channel, users: userId, }, }); if (!channelInviteResponse.ok) { throw new Error(Failed to invite user to channel: ${channelInviteResponse.error}); } return { message:
I want to add a person in our Slack workspace and add them into a specific channel using their email address. I need a single step for the actions needed.
To add a person to your Slack workspace and then add them to a specific channel using their email address, you can use the Slack API to perform these actions. Below is a Pipedream component that accomplishes this in a single step: 1. Find the user by their email address. 2. Invite the user to the specified channel. Here’s the Pipedream component code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { slack: { type: "app", app: "slack", }, email: { type: "string", label: "User Email", }, channel: { type: "string", label: "Channel ID", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Find the user by email const findUserResponse = await axios($, { url: `https://slack.com/api/users.lookupByEmail`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, params: { email: this.email, }, }); if (!findUserResponse.ok) { throw new Error(`Error finding user: ${findUserResponse.error}`); } const userId = findUserResponse.user.id; // Invite the user to the channel const inviteResponse = await axios($, { url: `https://slack.com/api/conversations.invite`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, params: { channel: this.channel, users: userId, }, }); if (!inviteResponse.ok) { throw new Error(`Error inviting user to channel: ${inviteResponse.error}`); } return inviteResponse; }, }); ### Explanation: 1. Find User by Email: The component first makes a request to the users.lookupByEmail endpoint to find the user ID associated with the provided email address. 2. Invite User to Channel: Using the user ID obtained from the first step, the component then makes a request to the conversations.invite endpoint to invite the user to the specified channel. ### Steps to Use: 1. Search for the Slack app from the step menu. 2. Select the “Run Node.js code” action. 3. Copy and paste
