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.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a message was posted in a direct message channel
Version:1.0.12
Key:slack-new-direct-message

Slack Overview

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When 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!

Trigger Code

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "slack-new-direct-message",
  name: "New Direct Message (Instant)",
  version: "1.0.12",

    slackApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "slack",
      async eventNames() {

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.

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:

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

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.

Action

Version:0.0.1
Key:pushbullet-send-push

Pushbullet Overview

The Pushbullet API is a great tool for building applications that can do a wide
variety of tasks. From pushing notifications to sending messages, the
Pushbullet API is a powerful resource for developers. Here are a few examples
of what you can build using the Pushbullet API:

  • Mobile Apps - Using the Pushbullet API, you can create mobile apps that use
    Pushbullet's notifications and messaging to send messages and information to
    users.
  • Chatbots - Chatbots can be created using the Pushbullet API to interact with
    users.
  • Real-time Alerts - With the Pushbullet API, you can create applications that
    send real-time alerts to users, such as notifications about weather or
    important news.
  • Reminders & Tasks - Pushbullet's API can be used to create applications that
    allow users to set reminders and tasks by sending them messages and
    notifications.
  • Automation - Automation applications can be built using the Pushbullet API to
    automate tasks, such as setting up daily reminders or sending out messages
    and notifications on a regular basis.
