Discord Bot Overview#

The Pipedream Discord app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Discord API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your guilds, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Discord actions, or write your own code against the Discord API.

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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Discord Bot	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord Bot app.
Guild	`guildId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Channels	`channels`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit messages as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all messages are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each Discord message as its own event in Pipedream
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Discord Bot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Discord Bot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Discord Bot APIs in both code and no-code steps.

This app allows you to use the Discord API using your own Discord bot. If you don't want to use a custom bot, and you just need to use the Discord API, exit this screen and use the Discord app, instead.

If you want to use your own Discord bot, but haven't created one yet, see these instructions or watch this video. You'll need to add this bot to your server(s) to make successful API requests.

Once you've created your bot, you'll find the Bot token within the Bot section of your app. Enter that token below.

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.

Action Code#

Action Authentication#

Pushbullet uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Pushbullet account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Pushbullet and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Pushbullet API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
