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.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event for each new task. [See the documentation](https://developer.ilovepdf.com/docs/api-reference#task)

iLovePDF Overview

The iLovePDF API lets you automate PDF processing tasks like merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs to other formats. iLovePDF's robust functionality can be harnessed in Pipedream workflows, which may include handling PDFs generated from various triggers, processing them as needed, and connecting to other services for storage, data extraction, or further actions based on the transformed PDFs.

Trigger Authentication

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

Sign in to your iLovePDF developer account. Navigate to Projects, and you will find your Public Key and Secret Key under API Keys.

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!

Action Code

import slack from "../../slack.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/send-message.mjs";

  ...common,

Action 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
