Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a message was posted in a direct message channel
Version:1.0.19
Key:slack-new-direct-message

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 Code

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "slack-new-direct-message",
  name: "New Direct Message (Instant)",

    },
    ignoreBot: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.slack,
        "ignoreBot",

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:

Action

Description:Create a document. [See the documentation](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/11741160/TVK5cLxQ#032798a4-6eb6-43cd-9c1b-9ba313f7d39c)
Version:0.0.1
Key:documint-create-document

Documint Overview

The Documint API enables automated document generation with dynamic content, offering a robust solution for creating tailored PDFs or other document types from templates. With this API, you can insert custom data into predefined fields, generate documents on the fly, and streamline the creation of invoices, contracts, reports, and more. Integrating Documint with Pipedream allows for the orchestration of serverless workflows that react to various triggers, like webhooks, emails, or schedule timings, to produce documents as part of a larger automated process.

Action Code

import app from "../../documint.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Create Document",
  version: "0.0.1",

      type: "object",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const variables = typeof this.variables === "string"
      ? JSON.parse(this.variables)
      : this.variables;

    const response = await this.app.createDocument({
      $,
      templateId: this.templateId,
      params: {
        active: true,
        preview: true,
      },
      data: {
        ...variables,
      },
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created document with ID \`${response.id}\``);
    }

    return response;
  },
};
