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

Description:Emit new event each time a channel post is created or updated.
Version:0.1.5
Key:telegram_bot_api-channel-updates

Telegram Bot Overview

With the Telegram Bot API, you can build bots that perform a variety of tasks,
including:

  • Sending and receiving messages
  • Social networking
  • Content management
  • File sharing
  • Location sharing
  • Bot administration
  • And more!

Trigger Code

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

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "telegram_bot_api-channel-updates",
  name: "New Channel Updates (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time a channel post is created or updated.",
  version: "0.1.5",

  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getEventTypes() {
      return [
        "channel_post",
        "edited_channel_post",
      ];
    },
    getMeta(event, channelPost) {
      return {
        id: event.update_id,
        summary: `${channelPost.chat.title} - ${channelPost.text}`,
        ts: new Date(channelPost.edit_date ?? channelPost.date),
      };
    },
    processEvent(event) {
      const channelPost = event.edited_channel_post ?? event.channel_post;

      if (!channelPost?.chat) {
        throw new Error(`Expected event to contain a chat, but received: ${JSON.stringify(event)}`);
      }

      this.$emit(event, this.getMeta(event, channelPost));
    },
  },
  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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
Telegram BottelegramBotApiappThis component uses the Telegram Bot app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis 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.

About Telegram Bot

Action

Description:Appends a new message into an inbox. [See the docs here](https://dev.frontapp.com/reference/import-inbox-message).
Version:0.1.6
Key:frontapp-import-message

Front Overview

With the Front API, you can build a variety of applications and integrations to
help you and your team manage your email inboxes. Here are a few examples of
what you can build:

  • A personalized email assistant that can help you triage and respond to emails
  • An integration with your CRM that automatically adds emails from customers to
    your CRM
  • A tool that flags important emails and sends you notifications about them
  • An app that helps you find emails from a specific sender or with a certain
    subject line
  • A script that archives all of your old emails

These are just a few examples of what you can build with the Front API – the
possibilities are really only limited by your imagination!
