Outgrow Overview#

The Outgrow API offers a toolkit to integrate interactive content like quizzes, polls, and calculators with your apps and workflows. Using Pipedream, you can automate actions based on events in Outgrow, such as new lead captures or quiz completions. This enables seamless data flows between Outgrow and CRM platforms, marketing tools, databases, and more. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows with Outgrow events, manipulate the data, and connect to thousands of other apps without writing complex code.

Trigger Code#

import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import common from "../common/timer-based.mjs";

const { props: { outgrow } } = common;

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "outgrow-new-lead",

          ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),

      $,
      contentId: this.contentId,
    });
    this.processEvents(leads);
  },
};

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
Outgrow	`outgrow`	`app`	This component uses the Outgrow app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The timer that will trigger the event source
Content ID	`contentId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

You can create an API Key in Account Settings by clicking on your name (alias) on the top right hand side of the Outgrow Dashboard interface. Then, select Billing & Settings from the drop-down menu and look for the API Key option on the left sidebar.

For subdomain, if your URL is https://xyz.outgrow.co then your subdomain is xyz.

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-create-channel",
  name: "Create a Channel",
  description: "Create a new channel. [See the documentation](https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.create)",
  version: "0.0.21",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    slack,
    channelName: {
      label: "Channel name",
      description: "Name of the public or private channel to create",
      type: "string",
    },
    isPrivate: {
      label: "Is private?",
      type: "boolean",
      description: "`false` by default. Pass `true` to create a private channel instead of a public one.",
      default: false,
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    // parse name
    const name = this.channelName.replace(/\s+/g, "-").toLowerCase();

    const response = await this.slack.sdk().conversations.create({
      name,
      is_private: this.isPrivate,
    });
    $.export("$summary", `Successfully created channel ${this.channelName}`);
    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Channel name	`channelName`	`string`	Name of the public or private channel to create
Is private?	`isPrivate`	`boolean`	`false` by default. Pass `true` to create a private channel instead of a public one.

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
