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 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:

Readwise Overview#

The Readwise API allows you to access and manipulate your Readwise data, which includes highlights, notes, and books from your reading list. With this API, you can automate the retrieval of your reading highlights, synchronize them across various platforms, or trigger custom actions based on new highlights added. Pipedream, as a serverless integration and compute platform, enables you to create workflows that leverage the Readwise API to build powerful automations, connecting your reading insights to countless other apps and services to enrich productivity and data management.
