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

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:

Giphy Overview#

The Giphy API provides programmatic access to Giphy's vast library of animated GIFs, allowing you to search, share, and explore this rich visual content. Leveraging Pipedream, you can harness the power of Giphy to add engaging visuals to your applications, automate the delivery of GIFs in response to events, or enrich your social media interactions with dynamic imagery. It opens up fun and expressive ways to inject personality into chatbots, forums, or any platform that could use a splash of animated flair.
