Build and run workflows using the Discord API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
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.

Example Use Cases#
Automate Welcome Messages: Trigger a workflow on Pipedream when a new user joins your Discord server to send them a personalized welcome message. Enhance this by adding a step to tag the user in a welcome channel or send them a DM with server rules and helpful resources.
Sync Discord Roles with External Databases: Manage Discord roles by syncing with user data from an external database or Google Sheets. When a user's status changes in the sheet—like upgrading to a paid tier of your service—use Pipedream to automatically update their role in Discord to reflect their new privileges.
Content Alerts from Social Media: Monitor social media platforms like Twitter or YouTube using their respective APIs on Pipedream. When a new tweet or video is posted, trigger a workflow that shares this content in a dedicated Discord channel, keeping your community engaged and informed about the latest updates.
Getting Started#
You can install the Pipedream Discord app in the Accounts section of your account, or directly in a workflow.
Not sure if you need to use the Discord or the Discord Bot integration for your workflow? Here's are the general similarities and differences:
Discord and Discord Bot actions and triggers can both:
- Listen to events on Discord channels, guilds, etc.
- Perform actions like sending messages, managing channels, and members
However the Discord integration will perform actions with the official Pipedream Discord bot.
Using the Discord Bot integration will use a custom bot instead, with it's own name and photo.
Accounts
- Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts.
- Click on the Click Here To Connect An App button in the top-right.
- Search for "Discord" among the list of apps, and select it.
- This will open a new window asking you to allow Pipedream access to your Slack workspace. Choose the right workspace where you'd like to install the app, then click Allow.
- That's it! You can now use this Discord account in any actions, or link it to any code step.
Within a workflow
- Create a new workflow.
- Select your trigger (HTTP, Cron, etc.).
- Click on the + button below the trigger step, and search for "Discord".
- Select the Send a Message action.
- Click the Connect Account button near the top of the step. This will prompt you to select any existing Discord accounts you've previously authenticated with Pipedream, or you can select a New account. Clicking New opens a new window asking you to allow Pipedream access to your Discord account. Choose the right guilde where you'd like to install the app, then click Allow.
- That's it! You can now connect to the Discord API using any of the Discord actions within a Pipedream workflow.

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:
