Mattermost Overview#

Mattermost is an open-source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle. With the Mattermost API on Pipedream, you can automate common chat operations, integrate with DevOps tools for real-time alerts, orchestrate workflows based on chat events, and connect with other services to enhance team productivity. For instance, you could trigger actions on issue tracking platforms when discussing bugs or link project management tools to update task statuses directly from your Mattermost channels.

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
Mattermost	`mattermost`	`app`	This component uses the Mattermost app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Team	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Channel	`channelId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Display Name	`displayName`	`string`	The display name of the webhook in Mattermost
Trigger Words	`triggerWords`	`string[]`	List of words that will trigger an event
Trigger When	`triggerWhen`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "When a trigger word is present in the message", "value": 0 }{ "label": "If the message starts with a trigger word", "value": 1 }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.
