New Message In Channels (Instant) on Slack

Description:Emit new event when a new message is posted to one or more channels

Version:1.0.15

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When 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.
Channels	`conversations`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
	`slackApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`
Resolve Names	`resolveNames`	`boolean`	Instead of returning `channel`, `team`, and `user` as IDs, return their human-readable names.

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 Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Workspace Admin	`googleWorkspace`	`app`	This component uses the Google Workspace Admin app.
Application Name	`applicationName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`access_transparencyadmincalendarchatdrivegcpgplusgroupsgroups_enterprisejamboardloginmeetmobilerulessamltokenuser_accountscontext_aware_accesschromedata_studiokeep`
Event Name	`eventName`	`string`	The name of the event being queried by the API. Each Event Name is related to a specific Google Workspace service or feature which the API organizes into types of events. An example is the Google Calendar events in the Admin console application's reports. The Calendar Settings type structure has all of the Calendar Event Name activities reported by the API. When an administrator changes a Calendar setting, the API reports this activity in the Calendar Settings type and Event Name parameters. For more information about Event Name query strings and parameters, see the list of event names for various applications above in Application Name. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
End Time	`endTime`	`string`	Sets the end of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example `2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z`. The default value is the approximate time of the API request. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Start Time	`startTime`	`string`	Sets the beginning of the range of time shown in the report. The date is in the RFC 3339 format, for example `2010-10-28T10:26:35.000Z`. The report returns all activities from Start Time until End Time. The Start Time must be before the End Time (if specified) and the current time when the request is made, or the API returns an error. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Max Results	`maxResults`	`integer`	Determines how many activity records are shown on each response page. For example, if the request sets `maxResults=1` and the report has two activities, the report has two pages. The response's `nextPageToken` property has the token to the second page. The Max Results query string is optional in the request. The default value is `1000`. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
Filters	`filters`	`string`	The filters query string is a comma-separated list composed of event parameters manipulated by relational operators. Event parameters are in the form `{parameter1 name}{relational operator}{parameter1 value},{parameter2 name}{relational operator}{parameter2 value},....`. For more details on this parameter see the docs here
