Discord Overview#

The Discord API interacts seamlessly with Pipedream, empowering you to craft customized automations and workflows for your Discord server. With this powerful integration, you can automate tasks like message posting, user management, and notifications, based on a myriad of triggers and actions from different apps. These automations can enhance the Discord experience for community moderators and members, by synchronizing with external tools, organizing community engagement, and streamlining notifications.

Trigger Code#

import discord from "../../discord.app.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  type: "source",
  key: "discord-new-message",
  name: "New Message (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event for each message posted to one or more channels in a Discord server",
  version: "1.0.3",

  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    discord,
    channels: {
      type: "$.discord.channel[]",
      appProp: "discord",
      label: "Channels",
      description: "Select the channel(s) you'd like to be notified for",
    },
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-label,pipedream/props-description
    discordApphook: {
      type: "$.interface.apphook",
      appProp: "discord",
      async eventNames() {
        return this.channels || [];
      },
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    if (event.guildID != this.discord.$auth.guild_id) {
      return;
    }
    this.$emit(event, {
      id: event.id,
    });
  },
  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
Discord	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
Channels	`channels`	`$.discord.channel[]`	Select the channel(s) you'd like to be notified for
	`discordApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Algolia Overview#

Algolia is a powerful search-as-a-service platform that makes it easy to deliver fast, relevant search experiences to users. The Algolia API allows developers to programmatically manage search indices, perform searches, and capture insights about search activity. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate and integrate Algolia's capabilities with other apps, creating efficient workflows that enhance search functionalities and user engagement. You can sync data across platforms, automate content indexing, and trigger actions based on search patterns or user behaviors.

Action Code#

import algolia from "../../algolia.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "algolia-create-objects",
  name: "Create Objects",
  description: "Adds an array of JavaScript objects to the given index. [See docs here](https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-methods/save-objects/)",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    algolia,
    indexName: {
      propDefinition: [
        algolia,
        "indexName",
      ],
    },
    objects: {
      label: "Objects",
      description: "An array of JavaScript objects, each corresponding to a new object in your search index. It's recommended you create this array of objects in a prior code step, then select expression mode and enter a variable reference to that array here",
      type: "string[]",
    },
    autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Auto Generate Object ID If Not Present",
      description: "If an objectID property is not present on objects, automatically assign on. Defaults to true",
      optional: true,
      default: true,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    parseObject(object) {
      return (typeof object === "object")
        ? object
        : JSON.parse(object);
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const parsedObjects = this.objects.length
      ? this.objects.map((object) => this.parseObject(object))
      : this.parseObject(this.objects);

    const response = await this.algolia.createObjects({
      indexName: this.indexName,
      objects: parsedObjects,
      options: {
        autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist: this.autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist,
      },
    });

    $.export("$summary", "Successfully created objects");

    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
Algolia	`algolia`	`app`	This component uses the Algolia app.
Index Name	`indexName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Objects	`objects`	`string[]`	An array of JavaScript objects, each corresponding to a new object in your search index. It's recommended you create this array of objects in a prior code step, then select expression mode and enter a variable reference to that array here
Auto Generate Object ID If Not Present	`autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist`	`boolean`	If an objectID property is not present on objects, automatically assign on. Defaults to true

Action Authentication#

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

In your Algolia Dashboard, select the API Keys section. Here you'll find your Application ID and API Keys. You can use either your Admin API Key or create another API key with permissions scoped to a specific index / operations (recommended).

Once done, enter both values below.
