2Chat Overview#

The 2Chat API allows developers to build and manage chatbots that can engage users in personalized conversations across various platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and more. This API facilitates the creation, training, and integration of chatbots with existing applications, enabling automated responses based on user inputs and behaviors. Utilizing Pipedream's capabilities, developers can orchestrate complex workflows that react to events from 2Chat, process data, and trigger actions in other apps, streamlining communication processes and enhancing user interaction.

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
2Chat	`twoChat`	`app`	This component uses the 2Chat app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
From Phone Number	`fromNumber`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Time Period	`timePeriod`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "value": "all-time", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event when the user messages you for the first time ever" }{ "value": "hour", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event after 1 hour of no messages" }{ "value": "day", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event after 1 day of no messages" }{ "value": "week", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event after 1 week of no messages" }{ "value": "month", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event after 1 month of no messages" }{ "value": "year", "label": "Will trigger the new conversation event after 1 year of no messages" }`

Trigger Authentication#

2Chat uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your 2Chat account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to 2Chat APIs in both code and no-code steps.

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!

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Channel	`conversation`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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:

channels:historychannels:readchannels:writeemoji:readgroups:historygroups:readgroups:writeim:historyim:readim:writelinks:readlinks:writempim:historympim:readmpim:writereactions:readreactions:writereminders:readreminders:writestars:readteam:readusergroups:readusergroups:writeusers:readusers:read.emailusers:writechat:write:botchat:write:userfiles:write:usercommandsusers.profile:writeusers.profile:read
