Workast Overview#

The Workast API enables the automation of task management in your projects, allowing the creation, update, and tracking of tasks without leaving the context of your current workflow. With the Workast API on Pipedream, you can tap into this functionality to build seamless integrations and automate repetitive actions, such as syncing tasks across multiple platforms, generating reports, or triggering reminders and notifications based on specific task events.

Trigger Code#

import workast from "../../app/workast.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";
export default defineSource({
    key: "workast-new-task",
    name: "New Task",
    description: "Emit new event for each new task",
    version: "0.0.3",
    type: "source",
    dedupe: "unique",
    props: {
        workast,
        timer: {
            type: "$.interface.timer",
            default: {
                intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
            },
        },
        listId: {
            propDefinition: [
                workast,
                "listId",
            ],
        },
    },
    hooks: {
        async deploy() {
            const tasks = await this.workast.getTasks({
                listId: this.listId,
                params: {
                    limit: 10,
                    order: "createdAt|desc",
                },
            });
            tasks.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);
        },
    },
    methods: {
        emitEvent(data) {
            this.$emit(data, {
                id: data.id,
                summary: `New task created with id ${data.id}`,
                ts: Date.parse(data.createdAt),
            });
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const tasks = await this.workast.getTasks({
            listId: this.listId,
            params: {
                order: "createdAt|asc",
            },
        });
        tasks.forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
});

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
Workast	`workast`	`app`	This component uses the Workast app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
List/Space ID	`listId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key:

Navigate to your Workast account and sign in
In Chrome you need to open the Developers tools (View -> Developer -> Developer tools)
Go to the Application tab
Navigate to cookies and you will find a cookie called token
Remember to URL decode the token before you use it with a tool like https://www.urldecoder.org/

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-add-role",
  name: "Add Role",
  description: "Assign a role to a user. Remember that your bot requires the `MANAGE_ROLES` permission. [See the docs here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#add-guild-member-role)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.12",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    userId: {
      propDefinition: [
        discord,
        "userId",
        ({ guildId }) => ({
          guildId,
        }),
      ],
    },
    roleId: {
      propDefinition: [
        discord,
        "roleId",
        ({
          guildId, userId,
        }) => ({
          guildId,
          userId,
          isAddRole: true,
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.discord.addGuildMemberRole({
      $,
      guildId: this.guildId,
      userId: this.userId,
      roleId: this.roleId,
    });

    if (!response) {
      return {
        id: this.roleId,
        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.
User	`userId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Role	`roleId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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.
