Trigger#

New Event Received on Fomo

Description:Emit new event on each new site event received.

Version:0.0.1

Key:fomo-new-event-received

View on GitHub

Fomo Overview#

The Fomo API enables real-time social proof by broadcasting customer interactions, like purchases or sign-ups, to site visitors, fostering a sense of urgency and trust. Leveraging this API on Pipedream, developers can create dynamic, event-driven workflows that respond to these social cues with automated actions like sending emails, updating CRM records, or triggering custom notifications.

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
Fomo	`fomo`	`app`	This component uses the Fomo app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your Fomo API token,
* Navigate to your Fomo account and sign in
* Go to “Sites”
* Select a Site
* Go to “Settings” > “Auth Token”

About Fomo#

Fomo delivers social proof to create website conversion momentum. The Fomo app does this by enabling online experience that feels like a busy store. When a person converts -- whether buying a new jacket, signing up for a retreat, or anything else -- Fomo shows this activity off to other visitors to drive action.

Action#

Send Message to Channel on Slack

Description:Send a message to a public or private channel. [See the documentation](https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage)

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 common from "../common/send-message.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,

        () => ({
          types: [
            constants.CHANNEL_TYPE.PUBLIC,
            constants.CHANNEL_TYPE.PRIVATE,

  },
};

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
Slack	`slack`	`app`	This component uses the Slack app.
Channel	`conversation`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Text	`text`	`string`	Text of the message to send (see Slack's formatting docs). This field is usually necessary, unless you're providing only attachments instead.
Send text as Slack mrkdwn	`mrkdwn`	`boolean`	`TRUE` by default. Pass `FALSE` to disable Slack markup parsing. See docs here
Send as User	`as_user`	`boolean`	Optionally pass `TRUE` to post the message as the authenticated user, instead of as a bot. Defaults to `FALSE`.
Schedule message	`post_at`	`string`	Messages can only be scheduled up to 120 days in advance, and cannot be scheduled for the past. The datetime should be in ISO 8601 format. (Example: `2014-01-01T00:00:00Z`)
Include link to workflow	`include_sent_via_pipedream_flag`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, includes a link to the workflow at the end of your Slack message.
Customize Bot Settings	`customizeBotSettings`	`boolean`	Customize the username and/or icon of the Bot
Reply to Thread	`replyToThread`	`boolean`	Reply to an existing thread
Add Message Metadata	`addMessageMetadata`	`boolean`	Set the metadata event type and payload
Configure Unfurl Settings	`configureUnfurlSettings`	`boolean`	Configure settings for unfurling links and media

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

About Slack#

Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.
