You can create a slack bot on Slack Admin, then try to use Pipedream Slack Bot integration https://pipedream.com/apps/slack-bot

thank you!

We’ve also got a blog post about creating a Slack bot that triggers a workflow on slash commands: https://pipedream.com/blog/build-a-slack-slash-command-in-less-than-10-minutes/

You can also configure your bot to send mentions / direct messages to a Pipedream HTTP endpoint. This is how our Pi bot works

This is the specific event we subscribe to: https://api.slack.com/events/app_mention

The small icon is still pipedream but not under the thread

11

do you happen to know why the icon shows up as PD from the channel view but correctly shows the icon within the thread? I think this is an issue for some of our bots too yeah?

Yea I’ve seen that but haven’t dug in…

Sounds like it’s by design from Slack Threaded reply icon_url doesn't set preview · Issue #1337 · slackapi/bolt-js · GitHub

ah that’s unfortunate, thanks for digging in
