:memo: Summary of the Issue (for Dev Help)
Project: Building an AI girlfriend bot (Ai-chan) that replies to messages in Discord using OpenAI via Pipedream.
:wrench: Stack:
Pipedream workflow with:
Discord Bot trigger
Run Node.js code step that:
:black_small_square:︎ Sends user message to OpenAI (gpt-3.5-turbo)
◦ Posts response back to the same Discord channel
OpenAI API key is active and has sufficient credits
Discord bot has been added to the server with necessary permissions
Channels:
#💕talk-to-ai-chan (flirty personality)
#🔞nsfw-corner (NSFW personality)
:white_check_mark: Current Working State:
• Code has been deployed on Pipedream
• Bot responds properly to manual test inputs in Pipedream
• API requests to OpenAI are successful when test values are used
Trigger step is configured to monitor the two correct channels
:rotating_light: Main Issue:

Bot does not respond to real user messages in Discord after deployment.
Symptoms:
• No reply from Ai-chan when messaging the bot in either channel
• Pipedream logs show no events triggered when real Discord messages are sent
• Workflow remains idle unless manually triggered

Hey , when you click “Run Now” on the source, do you see the new event emitted?

I appreciaate you trying to help but I’m going to use a different program. I got it up and it burned though all of my credits in a few seconds
