## What it does

The skill gives agents access to Pipefy Advanced Automations. Rather than using static endpoints, it discovers operations dynamically per pipe via `get_ipaas_tools`, inspects input schemas, and runs them with `call_ipaas_tool`. This handles triggers, routers, loops, custom code steps, and connector pieces.

Every workspace attaches directly to a specific `pipe_id`. If a flow executes under a service account, you must add that account as an explicit member of the pipe. Giving it organization-level permissions is not enough; operations will fail with permission errors.

Use `pipefy-automations` instead when dealing with basic card if/then triggers or generative AI rules. Keep in mind that end-to-end test runs produce real side effects across external destinations.

## Requirements
- Works with: Slack, Gmail, Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-ipaas -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/pipefy-ipaas/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-ipaas -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-ipaas -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pipefy/ai-toolkit pipefy-ipaas
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-ipaas -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit --path plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-ipaas
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-ipaas -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit/tree/HEAD/plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-ipaas/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- connect Pipefy workflows to external apps like Slack or Google Sheets
- build multi-step flows with incoming webhooks and routers
- validate, test, and publish draft iPaaS automation pipelines
- manage data tables and records inside Pipefy iPaaS

## Example prompts
- Inspect the iPaaS tools catalog for pipe 12345
- Build a flow that triggers on an incoming webhook and posts to Slack
- Validate and run a test execution for the draft flow before publishing

# iPaaS (Advanced Automations)

MCP clients: read [references/mcp.md](references/mcp.md). CLI users: read [references/cli.md](references/cli.md). Examples below describe shared operation arguments.

Pipefy's embedded workflow-automation platform. A **flow** is a trigger plus a sequence of steps that call **pieces** (integration connectors). The flow-builder verbs are catalog entries you discover per pipe and invoke through `call_ipaas_tool`, never a fixed operation list.

## When to use

- "Integrate with Slack / Gmail / Google Sheets / an external app."
- User asks to integrate Pipefy with an external app (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, etc.) — use iPaaS tools here, not traditional automations or AI agents by default.
- "When a webhook comes in, do X." "On a schedule, do Y."
- "Build a multi-step flow with a router / loop / code step."
- Managing iPaaS data tables (separate from Pipefy database tables).

**When not to use:** native if/then rules on card events, or prompt-driven AI automations, both live in `pipefy-automations`. Simple HTTP callbacks on card events are `create_webhook` in `pipefy-members-email-webhooks`.

## Prerequisites

- **iPaaS enabled on the organization.** If not, the backend typically returns a permission error (often coded `PERMISSION_DENIED` with text like "iPaaS is disabled for your organization" — exact code/string is backend-dependent).

- **Permission to create automations on the pipe** (pipe-admin ability).
- **Service account must be a pipe member.** When a flow runs under a service account, that account must be a member of the target pipe, or pipe-scoped calls under its identity fail with a permission error even after the flow is built. Adding the account elsewhere (org-level) is not enough. Provision one with `create_service_account` if needed, then attach it with `add_service_account_to_pipe(pipe_id, email, role_name)` immediately — see `pipefy-members-email-webhooks` and [docs/mcp/tools/service-accounts.md](https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit/blob/main/docs/mcp/tools/service-accounts.md). The catalog operations act as the calling session's identity, so this applies to the service account your flow runs under, not to the catalog caller.

- The iPaaS workspace is **per-pipe**: the catalog and any existing flows, connections, and tables belong to one `pipe_id`, so the same call against two pipes can differ.
