Rocket Chat Overview#

Rocket Chat is a customizable and open-source team chat platform that's a popular alternative for team communication. With its API, you can automate a variety of tasks, such as sending messages, creating channels, managing users, and integrating with various services for a seamless workflow. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can use Rocket Chat API to create intricate workflows and connect them with other apps to streamline communication, trigger actions based on messages, and synchronize data across platforms.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "rocket_chat-new-user-created",
  name: "New User Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new user is created in RocketChat.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(user) {
      return {
        id: user._id,
        summary: `New User: ${user.name}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const users = this.rocketchat.paginate({
      resourceFn: this.rocketchat.listUsers,
      resourceType: "users",
    });

    for await (const user of users) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(user);
      this.$emit(user, meta);
    }
  },
  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
Rocket Chat	`rocketchat`	`app`	This component uses the Rocket Chat app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

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

Create a token in Account > Personal Access Tokens and retrieve your Token and User ID. For domain, use "xyz.rocket.chat" for the cloud version or your own root URL such as "mydomain.com" (do not include https://).

Discord Bot Overview#

The Discord Bot API unlocks the power to interact with Discord users and channels programmatically, making it possible to automate messages, manage servers, and integrate with other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that respond to events in Discord, process data, and trigger actions in other apps. This opens up opportunities for community engagement, content moderation, analytics, and more, without the overhead of managing infrastructure.

Action 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.
