New Message In Channels (Instant) on Slack

Description:Emit new event when a new message is posted to one or more channels

Version:1.0.22

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!

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
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Channels	`conversations`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
	`slackApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`
Resolve Names	`resolveNames`	`boolean`	Instead of returning `channel`, `team`, and `user` as IDs, return their human-readable names.
Ignore Bots	`ignoreBot`	`boolean`	Ignore messages from bots
Ignore replies in threads	`ignoreThreads`	`boolean`	Ignore replies to messages in threads

Trigger 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

About Slack#

Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.

Tookan Overview#

The Tookan API allows for the automation and streamlining of delivery and field services. By integrating with Pipedream, users can trigger workflows based on events within Tookan, such as new task creation, task status updates, or agent alerts. This enables businesses to connect Tookan with other apps and services, automating notifications, data synchronization, and logistics operations, leading to improved coordination, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
