SavvyCal Overview#

SavvyCal makes scheduling meetings less of a hassle with personalized links and overlaying of calendars to find optimal meeting times. The SavvyCal API allows for the automated creation and management of scheduling links, the coordination of calendars, and the customization of scheduling parameters. Within Pipedream, you can integrate SavvyCal with various other apps to streamline your scheduling processes. This means you can automatically create meetings based on triggers from other apps, sync schedules across platforms, or send notifications when new meetings are scheduled.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
SavvyCal	`app`	`app`	This component uses the SavvyCal app.
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.
Webhook Event Types	`webhookEventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`event.createdevent.requestedevent.approvedevent.declinedevent.rescheduledevent.canceledpoll.response.createdworkflow.action.triggered`

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

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

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!
