New Interaction Events on Slack

Description:Emit new events on new Slack [interactivity events](https://api.slack.com/interactivity) sourced from [Block Kit interactive elements](https://api.slack.com/interactivity/components), [Slash commands](https://api.slack.com/interactivity/slash-commands), or [Shortcuts](https://api.slack.com/interactivity/shortcuts).

New Interaction Events Overview#

Slack messages can contain interactive elements like buttons, dropdowns, radio buttons, and more. This source subscribes to interactive events, like when a button is clicked in a message.

Example of a Slack button

Then this source will be triggered when you or another Slack user in your workspace clicks a button, selects an option or fills out a form.

Example feed of interaction events coming from Slack

With this trigger, you can build workflows that perform some work with other APIs or services, and then reply back to the original message.

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.
Action IDs	`action_ids`	`string[]`	Filter interaction events by specific `action_id`'s to subscribe for new interaction events. If none selected, all `action_ids` will emit new events.
Channels	`conversations`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
	`slackApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

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:

bookmarks:writecalls:readcalls:writechannels:historychannels:readchannels:writednd:readdnd:writeemoji:readfiles:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writepins:readpins:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writeremote_files:readremote_files:sharestars:readstars:writeteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:usercommandsfiles:write:userusers.profile:writeusers.profile:readsearch: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.

Create Appointment on Aero Workflow

View on GitHub

Aero Workflow Overview#

You can use the Aero Workflow API to build from simpleETL processes to
multi-step workflows that encompass a variety of microservices. The following
are examples of what you can build using the Aero Workflow API:

A process that ingests data from a remote data source, transforms it, and
then stores it in a database.
A workflow that aggregates data from multiple data sources, runs some
analysis on it, and then produces a report.
A process that monitors a data source for new data, ingests it, and then
sends it to a message queue for processing by other elements of your system.
