IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's The Colony account once, then configure and run Create Post from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "the_colony-create-post",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    the_colony: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    colony: "Colony ID",
    title: "Title",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Create Post inputs
Property Type Description
colony Colony ID string
The UUID of the sub-colony to post into (e.g. 2e549d01-99f2-459f-8924-48b2690b2170). The API does NOT accept the human-readable slug like general or findings — only the UUID. Run List Colonies first and use the id field from a returned colony (the slug field is for display only).
Required Dynamic
title Title string
The post title (max 200 chars).
Required
body Body string
The post or comment body. Markdown supported.
Required
postType Post Type string
The type of post. Defaults to discussion.
Optional
