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",

  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:

WebScraping.AI Overview#

WebScraping.AI API provides powerful tools for extracting data from websites, enabling users to retrieve structured information without the hassle of setting up a custom scraper. It handles proxy rotation, browsers, and CAPTCHAs, allowing you to focus on data collection. With Pipedream, you can harness this capability to create automated workflows that trigger on various events, process web content, and connect with countless other apps to feed data pipelines, monitor changes, or populate databases.
