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.

Telegram Bot Overview#

The Telegram Bot API allows you to build bots that can interact with users on the Telegram platform. Using Pipedream, you can automate messaging, handle commands, and trigger actions based on conversations or alerts. Pipedream's serverless execution model enables you to create complex workflows involving Telegram messages without managing any infrastructure. With Pipedream's integration, you can process inbound messages, send outbound notifications, and connect the Telegram Bot API with numerous other services to create powerful automation solutions.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/webhooks.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "telegram_bot_api-message-updates",
  name: "New Message Updates (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time a Telegram message is created or updated.",
  version: "0.1.5",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getMeta(event, message) {
      return {
        id: event.update_id,
        summary: message.text,
        ts: new Date(message.edit_date ?? message.date),
      };
    },
    getEventTypes() {
      return [
        "message",
        "edited_message",
      ];
    },
    processEvent(event) {
      const message = event.edited_message ?? event.message;
      this.$emit(event, this.getMeta(event, message));
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Telegram Bot	`telegramBotApi`	`app`	This component uses the Telegram Bot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
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.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To use the Telegram Bot API, you must first create a new bot by chatting with the BotFather.

After you create your bot, copy the bot token and add it below.

Digital Ocean Overview#

The Digital Ocean API provides programmatic access to manage Digital Ocean resources such as Droplets, Spaces, and Databases. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate a variety of tasks, like spinning up new servers, scaling resources, or integrating cloud infrastructure management into your workflow. It's a powerful tool for DevOps automation, allowing for the dynamic management of infrastructure in response to events or schedules.

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
Digital Ocean	`digitalOceanApp`	`app`	This component uses the Digital Ocean app.
Name	`name`	`string`	Human-readable string to use when displaying the Droplet name.

Action Authentication#

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

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