Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Discourse trigger and Google Sheets action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Users (Instant) trigger
1. Connect your Discourse account
Configure the Add Single Row action
1. Connect your Google Sheets account
2. Optional- Select a Drive
3. Select a Spreadsheet
4. Select a Sheet Name
5. Select a Does the first row of the sheet have headers?
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Users (Instant) on Discourse

Description:Emit new event every time a new user is created on your instance

Version:0.2.1

Key:discourse-new-users-added

View on GitHub

Discourse Overview#

The Discourse API empowers developers to interact programmatically with Discourse forums, allowing for a myriad of automations and integrations. Using Pipedream, you can harness this API for tasks such as syncing forum data with other platforms, automating user management, or triggering workflows based on forum activity. The key is in creatively coupling Discourse events with Pipedream's capabilities to streamline community interactions and administration.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  name: "New Users (Instant)",
  key: "discourse-new-users-added",
  version: "0.2.1",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new event every time a new user is created on your instance",
  ...common,
  hooks: {
    ...common.hooks,
    async deploy() {
      const users = await this.discourse.listUsers();
      for (const user of users.slice(0, 10)) {
        this.$emit(user, this.generateMeta(user));
      }
    },
    async activate() {
      await this.activate({
        web_hook_event_type_ids: [
          "3",
        ], // https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/web_hook_event_type.rb#L6
      });
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(user) {
      const {
        id,
        name: summary,
        created_at: createdAt,
      } = user;
      return {
        id,
        summary,
        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    this.validateEventAndEmit(event, "user_created", "user");
  },
};

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
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Discourse	`discourse`	`app`	This component uses the Discourse app.

Trigger Authentication#

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

For domain, enter the hostname, without the protocol, that you'd use in this API call: https://[domain]/admin/users/list/active.json. For example: example.com.

If you host Discourse on a subfolder (for example: https://pipedream.com/community), enter the subfolder as a part of the domain (pipedream.com/community).

Create an API key in your Admin panel, and enter the associated api_username and api_key.

Add Single Row on Google Sheets

Description:Add a single row of data to Google Sheets

Version:2.1.2

Key:google_sheets-add-single-row

View on GitHub

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

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
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet	`sheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Sheet Name	`sheetName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Does the first row of the sheet have headers?	`hasHeaders`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`YesNo`

Action Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
