New Message in Channel on Discord Bot

Description:Emit new event for each message posted to one or more channels

Version:1.0.0

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.

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 Bot	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord Bot app.
Guild	`guildId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Channels	`channels`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit messages as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all messages are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each Discord message as its own event in Pipedream
Ignore Bot Messages	`ignoreBotMessages`	`boolean`	Set to `true` to only emit messages NOT from the configured Discord bot
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger 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.

About Discord Bot#

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.

Quiet Zone	`quiteZone`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`0123456789101112`
Custom Size	`customSize`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if parameter size is set to custom. Use this parameter to specify the custom size of the QR Code image in pixels (including Quiet Zone, which is free area around QR Code to ensure scannability).
Error Correction	`errorCorrection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`LMQH`
Data Pattern	`dataPattern`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`RECTROUNDMINI_LEAFCHIPSFIREFLYROUNDED_CORNERSVERTICAL_PIPESHORIZONTAL_PIPESVERTICAL_NIGHT_LIFEHORIZONTAL_NIGHT_LIFEPANCARDSCURVED_RECTSNAWABI_DARWAZAROTATED_SQUARESROTATED_RECTSHAND_IN_HANDSRANDOM_ROTATEALTERNATE_DIAGONALCIRCLE_ON_CORNERSCONNECTED_HAMMERSCONNECTED_CIRCLESPOINTED_BEAKSMAZECURVED_MAZETRIANGLESVERTICAL_TRIANGLESHORIZONTAL_TRIANGLESHUTCIRCULAR_DIAGONALLIGHT_CIRCLELIGHT_SQUARELIGHT_ROUNDED_CORNERSLIGHT_CIRCLE_SQUARENOOVERLAP_ROUND_CORNER`

Data Gradient Start Color	`dataGradientStartColor`	`string`	Parameter valid and required only if poster.url is not specified. Use this parameter to EITHER add a color (in hex format #000000) to all data modules (if data_gradient_style is set to None) OR to add the start color to data modules (if data_gradient_style is not set to None).
Data Gradient End Color	`dataGradientEndColor`	`string`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is not specified and data_gradient_style is not set to None. Use this parameter to set the end color (in hex format #000000) to data modules.

Logo Size	`logoSize`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Enter the size of the logo image as a percentage (%) of size of logo. Tip: High logo size may make the QR Code unscannable. Test thoroughly before finalizing.
Logo Excavated	`logoExcavated`	`boolean`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Use this paramater to specify if the blocks around the logo should be remove (true) or should not be removed (false) Tip: If selecting true, set error correction to a higher-level to ensure loss of blocks doesn't affect scannability.
Logo Angle	`logoAngle`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if data in logo.url is specified. Use this parameter if you wish to rotate the image at an angle. Use values 1-359 (degrees) for clockwise rotation and -1 to -359 (degrees) for anti-clockwise rotation.

Poster URL	`posterUrl`	`string`	Use this field if you want to design the QR Code with the 'Custom with Background' feature. Otherwise, skip. Enter the URL of the image you want as a background image. Tip: Ensure the image source allows cross-domain access. Or simply use the Media feature to upload image and get URL.
Poster Left	`posterLeft`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you position the QR Code from the left edge of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the distance between the left-edge of the image and the centre of the QR Code.Tip: Value 50 is placing the QR Code in the centre of the background image in terms of image width.
Poster Top	`posterTop`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you position the QR Code from the top edge of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the distance between the top-edge of the image and the centre of the QR Code.Tip: Value 50 is placing the QR Code in the centre of the background image in terms of image height.
Poster Size	`posterSize`	`integer`	Parameter valid only if poster.url is specified. This parameter will help you specify the size of the QR Code relative to the size of the uploaded background image. Specify value in percentage (%) where value is the ratio of QR Code size and Uploaded Image size.
