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

Description:Emit new event when a new contact is created
Version:0.0.6
Key:sendgrid-new-contact

Twilio SendGrid Overview

With the Twilio SendGrid API, you can build a number of features into your
application to manage your SendGrid account and send emails. For example, you
can use the API to:

  • Create and manage SendGrid accounts
  • Send emails through SendGrid
  • Manage email templates
  • Get statistics on email sends
  • And more!

Action

Description:Send a simple or structured message (using embeds) to a Discord channel
Version:1.0.2
Key:discord-send-message-advanced

Discord Overview

The Pipedream Discord app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Discord API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your guilds, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Discord actions, or write your own code against the Discord API.

Action Code

import { ConfigurationError } from "@pipedream/platform";
import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "discord-send-message-advanced",

      throw new ConfigurationError("This action requires at least 1 message OR embeds object. Please enter one or the other above.");

        embeds.push({
          "color": 16777215,
          "description": this.getSentViaPipedreamText(),
        });
      } else {
        content = this.appendPipedreamText(message ?? "");
      }
    }

    try {
      const resp = await this.discord.sendMessage(this.channel, {
        avatar_url: avatarURL,
        username,
        flags: this.getMessageFlags(suppressNotifications),
        embeds,

      const unsentMessage = this.getUserInputProps();
      $.export("unsent", unsentMessage);
      throw err;
    }
  },
};

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.

LabelPropTypeDescription
DiscorddiscordappThis component uses the Discord app.
channelchannel$.discord.channel
Messagemessagestring

Enter a simple message up to 2000 characters. This is the most commonly used field. However, it's optional if you pass embed content.

Thread IDthreadIDstring

If provided, the message will be posted to this thread

Usernameusernamestring

Overrides the current username of the webhook

Avatar URLavatarURLstring

If used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook. Note: Consecutive posts by the same username within 10 minutes of each other will not display updated avatar.

Include link to workflowincludeSentViaPipedreamboolean

Defaults to true, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.

Suppress notificationssuppressNotificationsboolean

Defaults to false, sends the message as silent, triggers no notifications to clients.

Embedsembedsany

Optionally pass an array of embed objects. E.g., {{ [{"description":"Use markdown including *Italic* **bold** __underline__ ~~strikeout~~ [hyperlink](https://google.com) `code`"}] }}. To pass data from another step, enter a reference using double curly brackets (e.g., {{steps.mydata.$return_value}}).
Tip: Construct the embeds array in a Node.js code step, return it, and then pass the return value to this step.

Action 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:

About Discord

Use this app to create a Discord source that emits messages from your guild to a Pipedream workflow.
