Slack Bot Overview

Slack Bot APIs offer powerful and flexible ways to automate repetitive tasks
and integrate workflows from various services. With the help of these APIs, it
is possible to develop Slack bots capable of exiting and entering specific
channels as well as performing various actions requested from users.

A Slack bot can be used to automate specific tasks and carry out routine admin
jobs such as checking the team’s working time, organizing team meetings,
managing customer inquiries and so on. These bots can be programmed to inform
the members of the team when tasks are completed. Some of the examples of what
you can create using the Slack Bot APIs are:

  • Automated reminders
  • Productivity and time tracking
  • Data analysis and processing
  • Internal communication releases
  • Integrations with external tools and services
  • Conversation and inquiry management
  • Automation of customer service
  • Scheduling and tracking of tasks
  • Personalised customer recommendations

Trigger Authentication

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

In the settings for your Slack app, visit the OAuth & Permissions section on the left. You'll see a token labeled Bot User OAuth Access Token. Copy and paste that below.

See Slack's docs on Bot User Tokens for more info.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview

The SWAPI (Star Wars API) provides a wealth of data about the Star Wars
universe to build applications. With the SWAPI, developers can access detailed
Star Wars related data about people, planets, films, species and much more.
From web and mobile applications to data analysis, the possibilities are
limitless.

Here are a few examples of what developers can build using the SWAPI:

  • Create a Star Wars encyclopedia to document the Star Wars universe and its
    characters.
  • Design a custom interactive map to explore the planets of the Star Wars
    universe.
  • Analyze the data to uncover patterns and insights about Star Wars films,
    characters, and species.
  • Design a search engine to query Star Wars related data.
  • Create a mobile app that displays information about the characters, films and
    species in the Star Wars universe.
  • Design a live score system specialized in providing stats related to the Star
    Wars films and characters.

Action Code

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [

  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
