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.

SFTP (key-based auth) Overview

The SFTP (key-based auth) app on Pipedream allows you to securely transfer and manage files over a network. It uses SSH for data transfer and provides the same level of security as SSH, without requiring password authentication, making automation workflows more secure and less prone to human error. You can automate file uploads, downloads, synchronization tasks, and efficiently manage your remote files in a serverless environment. Integrating this with other Pipedream-supported apps enables you to craft powerful and secure data flow systems.

Trigger Authentication

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

This app holds details for an SFTP server you want to interact with in Pipedream.

Below, enter the hostname of the server you'd like to connect to, your username, and the private key you'd like to use to connect.

This app only supports key pair authentication, not authentication via password. If you need to use a username / password to connect to a host, please use the SFTP (password-based auth) app, instead.

Action

Description:Modifies the nickname of the current user in a guild.
Version:0.0.9
Key:discord_bot-change-nickname

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-change-nickname",
  name: "Change Nickname",
  description: "Modifies the nickname of the current user in a guild.",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.9",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    nick: {
      propDefinition: [
        discord,
        "nick",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      nick,
      guildId,
    } = this;

    const response = await this.discord.changeNickname({
      $,
      nick,
      guildId,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Nickname Successfully changed to \`${nick}\`!`);
    return response;
  },
};

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.
