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.

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

Key:slack-new-message-in-channels

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:

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.

BigCommerce Overview#

The BigCommerce API enables merchants to seamlessly manage their e-commerce operations by automating tasks, syncing data, and integrating with a plethora of other services. With Pipedream, you can tap into the BigCommerce API to create custom workflows that handle everything from order processing to customer relationship management. The result is a more efficient, personalized shopping experience for customers and less manual work for store owners.

Action Authentication#

BigCommerce uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your BigCommerce account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to BigCommerce APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Navigate to Settings > API > Store-level API accounts
Name the account (it will only be visible to store users)
In the OAuth Scopes section, select the minimum scopes the app will require
Press Save.

The base API path will look something like this: https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/123456/

In example above, the store_hash is 123456. Enter this and the access token below.
