Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Booqable Overview#

The Booqable API provides programmatic access to rental shop functions such as inventory management, orders, and customers. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate tasks, sync data across platforms, and create custom workflows. The API's endpoints allow you to programmatically check item availability, manage bookings, and update customer information, making it suitable for integrating with a wide range of other apps and services to streamline operations.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "booqable-new-customer",
  name: "New Customer",
  description: "Emits a new event anytime there is a new customer. [See the documentation](https://developers.booqable.com/#list-all-customers)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceName() {
      return "customers";
    },
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.app.listCustomers;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return {
        params: {
          per: constants.DEFAULT_LIMIT,
        },
      };
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New Customer: ${resource.name}`,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Booqable	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Booqable app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

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

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 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:
