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`	`$.discord.channel[]`	Select the channel(s) you'd like to be notified for
	`discordApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

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:

Algolia Overview#

Algolia is a powerful search-as-a-service platform that makes it easy to deliver fast, relevant search experiences to users. The Algolia API allows developers to programmatically manage search indices, perform searches, and capture insights about search activity. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate and integrate Algolia's capabilities with other apps, creating efficient workflows that enhance search functionalities and user engagement. You can sync data across platforms, automate content indexing, and trigger actions based on search patterns or user behaviors.

Action Code#

import app from "../../algolia.app.mjs";
import utils from "../../common/utils.mjs";

export default {
  key: "algolia-save-records",
  name: "Save Records",
  description: "Adds records to an index. [See the documentation](https://www.algolia.com/doc/libraries/javascript/v5/helpers/#save-records).",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    app,
    indexName: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "indexName",
      ],
    },
    records: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Records From JSON Objects",
      description: "The records to add to the index. Each record should be a JSON object. Eg. `{\"objectID\": \"1\", \"name\": \"Jane Doe\"}`. For a better user experience, you can use the [**CSV File To Objects**](https://pipedream.com/apps/helper-functions/actions/csv-file-to-objects) **Helper Function** action to convert a CSV file to an array of objects and then map the objects to the records field here as a **Custom Expression**. Eg. `{{steps.csv_file_to_objects.$return_value}}`.",
    },
  },
  methods: {
    saveRecords(args = {}) {
      return this.app._client().saveObjects(args);
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      saveRecords,
      indexName,
      records,
    } = this;

    const response = await saveRecords({
      indexName,
      objects: utils.parseArrayAndMap(records),
      waitForTasks: true,
    });

    $.export("$summary", "Successfully created records.");
    return response;
  },
};

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
Algolia	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Algolia app.
Index Name	`indexName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Records From JSON Objects	`records`	`string[]`	The records to add to the index. Each record should be a JSON object. Eg. `{"objectID": "1", "name": "Jane Doe"}`. For a better user experience, you can use the CSV File To Objects Helper Function action to convert a CSV file to an array of objects and then map the objects to the records field here as a Custom Expression. Eg. `{{steps.csv_file_to_objects.$return_value}}`.

Action Authentication#

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

In your Algolia Dashboard, select the API Keys section. Here you'll find your Application ID and API Keys. You can use either your Admin API Key or create another API key with permissions scoped to a specific index / operations (recommended).

Once done, enter both values below.
