GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common-flex.mjs";
import {
  getSampleTimerEvent, getSampleWebhookEvent,
} from "./common-sample-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-branch",
  name: "New Branch Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a branch is created.",
  version: "1.0.10",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSampleTimerEvent,
    getSampleWebhookEvent,
    getWebhookEvents() {
      return [
        "create",
      ];
    },
    shouldEmitWebhookEvent(body) {
      return body?.ref_type === "branch";
    },
    getId(item) {
      return item.ref ?? item.name;
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New branch: ${this.getId(item)}`;
    },
    getPollingData(args) {
      return this.github.getBranches(args);
    },
    getHttpDocsLink() {
      return "https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#create";
    },
    getTimerDocsLink() {
      return "https://docs.github.com/en/rest/branches/branches?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-branches";
    },
  },
};

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
GitHub	`github`	`app`	This component uses the GitHub app.
Repository	`repoFullname`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

GitHub uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your GitHub account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into GitHub and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any GitHub API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

reporead:orgadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsread:userwrite:discussionadmin:repo_hook

About GitHub#

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!
