Discord Overview#

The Discord API interacts seamlessly with Pipedream, empowering you to craft customized automations and workflows for your Discord server. With this powerful integration, you can automate tasks like message posting, user management, and notifications, based on a myriad of triggers and actions from different apps. These automations can enhance the Discord experience for community moderators and members, by synchronizing with external tools, organizing community engagement, and streamlining notifications.

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

AltTextLab Overview#

AltTextLab's API provides powerful AI-generated alternative text for images - enhancing SEO, accessibility, and automation workflows.
