Overview of Oyster#
The Oyster API allows you to streamline your global employment processes by providing programmatic access to their HR platform. With it, you can automate tasks like managing employee details, handling payroll, and tracking time off. Pipedream, as a serverless integration platform, makes it simple to create workflows that connect the Oyster API with hundreds of other apps. This can help in automating HR operations, syncing employee data across systems, or even sending notifications when certain HR events occur.
Connect Oyster#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
oyster: {
type: "app",
app: "oyster",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.oysterhr.com/v1/company`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.oyster.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Slack#
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!
