Overview of Shorten.REST#
Shorten.REST API on Pipedream allows you to automate URL shortening, expanding, and tracking within your custom workflows. With this API, you can create short, branded links programmatically, obtain detailed analytics on click-throughs, and manage your URLs efficiently, all within Pipedream's serverless platform. This enables seamless integration of URL management into your applications, marketing campaigns, or day-to-day tasks while leveraging various triggers and actions from other apps available on Pipedream.
Connect Shorten.REST#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
shorten_rest: {
type: "app",
app: "shorten_rest",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.shorten.rest/clicks`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
"x-api-key": `${this.shorten_rest.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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!
Connect Slack#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
slack: {
type: "app",
app: "slack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
