Trigger#

New Direct Message (Instant) on Slack

Description:Emit new event when a message was posted in a direct message channel

Version:1.0.20

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.

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:

SMSAPI Overview#

The SMSAPI is a tool that lets you send text messages at scale. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create workflows that trigger on various events, like incoming emails, form submissions, or scheduled times, and send SMS messages as part of an automated process. This can help with alerts, marketing, or operational communications. Pipedream's capabilities for connecting to various APIs and services enable complex workflows that can be built without managing your own infrastructure.
