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#

New Topics (Instant) on Discourse

Description:Emit new topics posted to your chosen categories

Version:0.2.1

Key:discourse-new-topics-added

Discourse Overview#

The Discourse API empowers developers to interact programmatically with Discourse forums, allowing for a myriad of automations and integrations. Using Pipedream, you can harness this API for tasks such as syncing forum data with other platforms, automating user management, or triggering workflows based on forum activity. The key is in creatively coupling Discourse events with Pipedream's capabilities to streamline community interactions and administration.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../../common.mjs";
import discourse from "../../discourse.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "New Topics (Instant)",
  key: "discourse-new-topics-added",
  version: "0.2.1",
  type: "source",
  description: "Emit new topics posted to your chosen categories",
  ...common,
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    categories: {
      propDefinition: [
        discourse,
        "categories",
      ],
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    ...common.hooks,
    async deploy() {
      const latestTopics = await this.discourse.getLatestTopics(
        this.categories,
      );
      for (const topic of latestTopics) {
        this.$emit(topic, this.generateMeta(topic));
      }
    },
    async activate() {
      await this.activate({
        category_ids: this.categories,
        web_hook_event_type_ids: [
          "1",
        ], // https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/web_hook_event_type.rb#L4

      } = topic;
      return {

        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    this.validateEventAndEmit(event, "topic_created", "topic");
  },
};

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
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Discourse	`discourse`	`app`	This component uses the Discourse app.
Categories	`categories`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

For domain, enter the hostname, without the protocol, that you'd use in this API call: https://[domain]/admin/users/list/active.json. For example: example.com.

If you host Discourse on a subfolder (for example: https://pipedream.com/community), enter the subfolder as a part of the domain (pipedream.com/community).

Create an API key in your Admin panel, and enter the associated api_username and api_key.

AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

Action Code#

import base from "@pipedream/helper_functions/actions/download-file-to-tmp/download-file-to-tmp.mjs";

    const filename = filedata[0];
    const filepath = filedata[1];
    const file = fs.readFileSync(filepath, {
      encoding: "base64",
    });
    const response = await this.uploadFile({
      Bucket: this.bucket,
      Key: filename,
      Body: Buffer.from(file, "base64"),

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
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
S3 Bucket Name	`bucket`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
AWS	`helper_functions`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
File URL	`url`	`string`	The absolute URL of the file you'd like to upload
S3 Filename Key	`filename`	`string`	The name of the S3 key with extension you'd like to upload this file to

Action Authentication#

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.

As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.

Enter your access and secret key below.
