Trigger#

New Channel Created (Instant) on Slack

Description:Emit new event when a new channel is created.

Version:0.0.1

Key:slack-new-channel-created

View on 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!

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "slack-new-channel-created",
  name: "New Channel Created (Instant)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  description: "Emit new event when a new channel is created.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-description,pipedream/props-label
    slackApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "slack",
      async eventNames() {
        return [
          "channel_created",
        ];
      },
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary({ channel: { name } }) {
      return `New channel created - ${name}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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.
	`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#

Automatic Data Extraction Overview#

The Automatic Data Extraction API by Zyte specializes in extracting structured data from web pages. When incorporated into Pipedream workflows, this API allows you to automate the process of gathering web data, which can feed into various tasks such as market research, price monitoring, or even lead generation. By triggering workflows with new data inputs, processing and storing the extracted data, and connecting to other apps, Pipedream amplifies the API's utility.
