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

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:

Phantombuster Overview#

Phantombuster is a tool that lets you automate interactions with web platforms to extract data, manage social media campaigns, and automate web actions. Using its API on Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate these automation capabilities into complex workflows. Imagine orchestrating a symphony where Phantombuster plays the strings—pulling data from LinkedIn, sending tailored tweets, or automating lead generation—while Pipedream conducts, integrating these actions with other apps and services for a harmonious data-driven performance.

Action Authentication#

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

Your API key resides in your Phantombuster Org settings page. This page is also accessible through your navbar's menu, under the label "Org settings". Please notice that for security reasons, you key will only be shown once, on creation. You better copy it in a safe place before refreshing or leaving the page.

For more info, refer to Phantombuster's API documentation.
