Trigger#

New Message (Instant) on Discord

Description:Emit new event for each message posted to one or more channels in a Discord server

Version:1.0.3

Key:discord-new-message

View on GitHub

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.

Trigger Code#

import discord from "../../discord.app.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  type: "source",
  key: "discord-new-message",
  name: "New Message (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event for each message posted to one or more channels in a Discord server",
  version: "1.0.3",

  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    discord,
    channels: {
      type: "$.discord.channel[]",
      appProp: "discord",
      label: "Channels",
      description: "Select the channel(s) you'd like to be notified for",
    },
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-label,pipedream/props-description
    discordApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "discord",
      async eventNames() {
        return this.channels || [];
      },
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    if (event.guildID != this.discord.$auth.guild_id) {
      return;
    }
    this.$emit(event, {
      id: event.id,
    });
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
Channels	`channels`	`$.discord.channel[]`	Select the channel(s) you'd like to be notified for
	`discordApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Action#

Upsert Row on Google Sheets

Description:Upsert a row of data in a Google Sheet. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append)

Version:0.1.10

Key:google_sheets-upsert-row

View on GitHub

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Action Code#

import { v4 as uuid } from "uuid";
import common from "../common/worksheet.mjs";
import { VALUE_RENDER_OPTION } from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import {
  omitEmptyKey, toSingleLineString,
} from "../../common/utils.mjs";

const { googleSheets } = common.props;

/**
 * This action performs an upsert operation, similar to the MySQL `INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY
 * UPDATE` operation, on a Google Spreadsheet. If a row in the spreadsheet has `value` in `column`
 * (i.e., a duplicated key), that row is updated. Otherwise, a new row is appended to the
 * spreadsheet.
 *
 * To determine if and where a duplicate key exists in the spreadsheet, this action uses [Google
 * Sheet's `MATCH` function](https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093378) in a new temporary
 * hidden worksheet. Uses roughly the method described in [this stackoverflow
 * answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49439220) and [this GitHub
 * comment](https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/1824#issuecomment-949940177).
