New Message in Channel on Discord Bot

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

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
	`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.

Lookup Responses on Typeform

Description:Search for responses with the `query` property. [See the docs here](https://developer.typeform.com/responses/reference/retrieve-responses/)

Version:0.0.2

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Code#

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
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
Form	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Query	`query`	`string`	Limit request to only responses that include the specified string. The string will be escaped and it will be matched against all answers fields, hidden fields and variables values.
Page size	`pageSize`	`integer`	Maximum number of responses. Maximum value is 1000. If your typeform has more than 1000 responses, use the `since`/`until` or `before`/`after` parameters to narrow the scope of your request.
Since	`since`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted since the specified date and time. Could be passed as int (timestamp in seconds) or in ISO 8601 format, UTC time, to the second, with `T` as a delimiter between the date and time (`2020-03-20T14:00:59`).
Until	`until`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted until the specified date and time. Could be passed as int (timestamp in seconds) or in ISO 8601 format, UTC time, to the second, with `T` as a delimiter between the date and time (`2020-03-20T14:00:59`).
After	`after`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted after the specified token. Could not be used together with `sort` parameter, as it sorts responses in the order that the system processed them (`submitted_at`). This ensures that you can traverse the complete set of responses without repeating entries.
Before	`before`	`string`	Limit request to responses submitted before the specified token. Could not be used together with `sort` parameter, as it sorts responses in the order that the system processed them (`submitted_at`). This ensures that you can traverse the complete set of responses without repeating entries.

Action Authentication#

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

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

offlineaccounts:readforms:writeforms:readimages:writeimages:readthemes:writethemes:readresponses:readresponses:writewebhooks:readwebhooks:writeworkspaces:readworkspaces:write

About Typeform#

Typeform lets you build no-code forms, quizzes, and surveys - and get more responses.
