Microsoft Teams Overview#

The Microsoft Teams API on Pipedream allows you to automate tasks, streamline communication, and integrate with other services to enhance the functionality of Teams as a collaboration hub. With this API, you can send messages to channels, orchestrate complex workflows based on Teams events, and manage Teams' settings programmatically.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "microsoft_teams-new-channel",
  name: "New Channel",
  description: "Emit new event when a new channel is created within a team",
  version: "0.0.9",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...base.props,
    team: {
      propDefinition: [
        base.props.microsoftTeams,
        "team",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    async getResources(lastCreated) {
      return this.getNewPaginatedResources(
        this.microsoftTeams.listChannels,
        {
          teamId: this.team,
        },
        lastCreated,
      );
    },
    generateMeta(channel) {
      return {
        id: channel.id,
        summary: channel.displayName,
        ts: Date.parse(channel.createdDateTime),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Microsoft Teams	`microsoftTeams`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Teams app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule
Team	`team`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

User.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofileChat.ReadChat.ReadWriteChatMessage.SendChannel.ReadBasic.AllChannelMessage.Read.AllChannelMessage.SendTeam.ReadBasic.AllSchedule.Read.All

Apify Overview#

The Apify API unleashes the power to automate web scraping, process data, and orchestrate web automation workflows. By utilizing Apify on Pipedream, you can create dynamic serverless workflows to manage tasks like extracting data from websites, running browser automation, and scheduling these jobs to run autonomously. It integrates smoothly with Pipedream's capabilities to trigger actions on various other apps, store the results, and manage complex data flow with minimal setup.

Action Code#

import apify from "../../apify.app.mjs";
import { ACTOR_ID } from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  key: "apify-scrape-single-url",

      type: "string",
      label: "URL",
      description: "The URL of the web page to scrape.",
      optional: false,
    },
    crawlerType: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Crawler Type",
      description: "Select the crawling engine:\n- **Headless web browser** - Useful for modern websites with anti-scraping protections and JavaScript rendering. It recognizes common blocking patterns like CAPTCHAs and automatically retries blocked requests through new sessions. However, running web browsers is more expensive as it requires more computing resources and is slower. It is recommended to use at least 8 GB of RAM.\n- **Stealthy web browser** (default) - Another headless web browser with anti-blocking measures enabled. Try this if you encounter bot protection while scraping. For best performance, use with Apify Proxy residential IPs. \n- **Raw HTTP client** - High-performance crawling mode that uses raw HTTP requests to fetch the pages. It is faster and cheaper, but it might not work on all websites.",
