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.

Trigger

Description:Emit new events when a new branch is created
Version:0.0.6
Key:github-new-branch

Trigger Code

const common = require("../common-webhook.js");
const eventTypes = [
  "branch",
];

module.exports = {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-branch",
  name: "New Branch (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new events when a new branch is created",
  version: "0.0.6",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    getEventNames() {
      return [
        "create",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(data) {
      const ts = Date.now();
      return {
        id: `${data.repository.id}${ts}`,
        summary: `New Branch: ${data.ref} by ${data.sender.login}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
    emitEvent(body) {
      if (eventTypes.indexOf(body.ref_type) > -1) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(body);
        this.$emit(body, meta);
      }
    },
  },
};

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
GitHubgithubappThis component uses the GitHub app.
ReporepoFullNamestringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis component uses $.interface.http to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the run() method of the component.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

repoadmin:orgadmin:public_keyadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsuserwrite:discussionwrite:packagesread:packagesadmin:repo_hook

About GitHub

Action

Slack Overview

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When 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 just makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Here are some examples of automations you can build with Pipedream on Slack:

  • Automate posting updates to your team channel
  • Create a bot to answer common questions
  • Integrate with your existing tools and services
  • Build a custom dashboard to track your team's progress
  • Create a bot to handle scheduling and meeting requests
  • And much more!

Should I use the Slack or Slack Bot app on Pipedream?

The Slack app is the easiest and most convienent option to get started. It installs the official Pipedream bot into your Slack workspace with just a few clicks.

However, if you'd like to use your own bot registered with the Slack API, you can use the Slack Bot app instead.

The Slack Bot requires a bot token to allow your Pipedream workflows to authenticate as your bot. The extra set up steps allow you to list your custom bot on the Slack Marketplace, or install the bot on other workspaces as your bot's name instead of as Pipedream.

Action Code

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

export default {
  key: "slack-complete-reminder",
  name: "Complete Reminder",
  description: "Complete a reminder. [See docs here](https://api.slack.com/methods/reminders.complete)",
  version: "0.0.13",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    slack,
    reminder: {
      propDefinition: [
        slack,
        "reminder",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return await this.slack.sdk().reminders.complete({
      reminder: this.reminder,
    });
  },
};
