Trigger#

New Channel Created (Instant) on Slack

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

Version:0.0.11

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the 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 app for Slack 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";

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:

chat:writechat:write.customizechat:write.publicfiles:read

Cloudmersive Overview#

The Cloudmersive API provides powerful tools for handling tasks like document conversion, data validation, virus scanning, and natural language processing. Integrating Cloudmersive with Pipedream allows you to automate complex processes with these abilities as triggers or steps in multi-stage workflows. This integration empowers you to streamline operations like sanitizing uploads before they hit your storage, parsing and converting user-submitted documents on-the-fly, or enhancing user engagement by leveraging language utilities.
