Trigger

Version:0.0.1
Key:kite_suite-new-task-created

Kite Suite Overview

The Kite Suite API enables you to automate and integrate your Kite Suite project management tasks seamlessly into Pipedream workflows. With this API, you can create, update, and manage projects, tasks, and teams, allowing for streamlined communication and coordination within your organization. By leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can connect Kite Suite with various other apps and services, triggering actions based on events, scheduling regular updates, or even processing data in real-time.

Action

Description:Send a message to a user, group, private channel or public channel. [See the documentation](https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage)
Version:0.0.15
Key:slack-send-message

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 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
