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.

New Document Parsed on Airparser

Airparser Overview#

The Airparser API simplifies the process of extracting data from emails, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, or any structured email content. By transforming emails into structured data, it enables seamless integration of email data into various workflows. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create automations that act on the parsed data—like updating databases, triggering notifications, or integrating with other apps and services.

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
Airparser	`airparser`	`app`	This component uses the Airparser app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Inbox ID	`inboxId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Airparser uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Airparser account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Airparser 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!

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 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.

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:

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
