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

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.
