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";

export default {
  key: "discord-new-guild-member",
  name: "New Guild Member (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event for each new member added to a guild",
  version: "0.0.3",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    discord,
    discordApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "discord",
      eventNames: [
        "GUILD_MEMBER_ADD",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    this.$emit(event, {
      id: `${event.userId}${event.guildId}`,
      summary: `Member ${event.displayName} added`,
      ts: Date.now(),
    });
  },
};

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.
	`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:

HTML 2 PDF Overview#

The HTML 2 PDF API allows you to convert HTML documents to PDFs. In Pipedream, you can integrate this API into workflows to automate document generation tasks. This can be incredibly useful for generating reports, invoices, or any other document where you start with HTML and need a PDF output. You can trigger these conversions with various events – like a new form submission, a scheduled trigger, or even updates in a database.
