New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Trigger Code#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-new-item-in-feed",

                "url",
            ],

            default: new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(), // default to one day ago

            // The code will throw any errors to the user.
            await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(this.url);
        },
    },
    methods: {
        ...rssCommon.methods,

                summary: item.title,

            if (Number.isNaN(publishedAfter) || publishedAfter > ts) {
                continue;
            }
            const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

Post Reaction with Emoji on Discord Bot

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 Code#

import common from "../common.mjs";

const { discord } = common.props;

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "discord_bot-post-reaction-with-emoji",
  name: "Post Reaction with Emoji",
  description: "Post a reaction for a message with an emoji. [See the docs here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-reaction)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.12",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    messageId: {
      propDefinition: [
        discord,
        "channelMessage",
        ({ channelId }) => ({
          channelId,
        }),
      ],
    },
    emoji: {
      propDefinition: [
        discord,
        "emoji",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      channelId,
      messageId,
      emoji: decodedEmoji,
    } = this;

    const emoji = encodeURIComponent(`${decodedEmoji}`);

    const response = await this.discord.createReaction({
      $,
      channelId,
      messageId,
      emoji,
    });

    if (!response) {
      return {
        emoji: decodedEmoji,
        success: true,
      };
    }

    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Discord Bot	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord Bot app.
Guild	`guildId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Channel	`channelId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Message	`messageId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emoji	`emoji`	`string`	Emoji (eg. 👍). To use custom emoji, you must encode it in the format `name:id` with the emoji name and emoji id.

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.
