SurveyCTO Overview#

The SurveyCTO API enables automated interactions with SurveyCTO services, a platform focusing on data collection and organization for research and survey projects. With this API, you can seamlessly retrieve, push, and manage survey data. Integrating SurveyCTO with Pipedream opens a realm of possibilities for automating data workflows, such as triggering actions based on new survey submissions, syncing collected data with other databases or apps, or even automating reports and notifications.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
SurveyCTO	`surveycto`	`app`	This component uses the SurveyCTO app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

SurveyCTO uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your SurveyCTO account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to SurveyCTO APIs in both code and no-code steps.

SurveyCTO requires their users enter their SurveyCTO email and password in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to SurveyCTO, documentation.

In addition, you need to enable API Access in order to connect successfully.

On SurveyCTO Web UI, access Configure tab.
On the Configure tab, scroll down to User roles and permissions section.
Under Administrator (full access, plus subscription management) role, click Edit, then check Allow server API access.

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Automate posting updates to your team channels
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
And much more!

Action Code#

import slack from "../../slack.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "slack-add-emoji-reaction",

Action Authentication#

Slack uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Slack account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Slack and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Slack API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

channels:historychannels:readchannels:writeemoji:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writestars:readteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:userfiles:write:usercommandsusers.profile:writeusers.profile:read
