Airbrake Overview#

The Airbrake API facilitates real-time error monitoring and automatic exception reporting for your web applications, giving you instant insight into issues as they arise. With this API, you can create custom notifications, analyze and aggregate error data, and manage your project's error trends. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate workflows that respond to these errors, connect with other services for enhanced issue resolution, and maintain a smooth operation within your development and production environments.

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
Airbrake	`airbrake`	`app`	This component uses the Airbrake app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To access a user-based API Key, sign in to your Airbrake account and go to Profile > Profile & Notifications.
To access a Project-based API Key, open a project on your Dashboard, and click Settings on the top right.
Alternatively, you can generate time-expiring user API Tokens here: https://airbrake.io/docs/api/#create-user-token-v4.

About Airbrake#

Airbrake collects errors generated by other applications, and aggregates the results for review.

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.

Action Code#

    }

    try {
      const resp = await this.discord.sendMessage(this.channel, {

};

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
Discord	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
channel	`channel`	`$.discord.channel`
Message	`message`	`string`	Enter a simple message up to 2000 characters. This is the most commonly used field. However, it's optional if you pass embed content.
Thread ID	`threadID`	`string`	If provided, the message will be posted to this thread
Username	`username`	`string`	Overrides the current username of the webhook
Avatar URL	`avatarURL`	`string`	If used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook. Note: Consecutive posts by the same username within 10 minutes of each other will not display updated avatar.
Include link to workflow	`includeSentViaPipedream`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.
Suppress notifications	`suppressNotifications`	`boolean`	Defaults to `false`, sends the message as silent, triggers no notifications to clients.
Embeds	`embeds`	`any`	Optionally pass an array of embed objects. E.g., {{ [{"description":"Use markdown including Italic bold __underline__ ~~strikeout~~ [hyperlink](https://google.com) `code`"}] }}. To pass data from another step, enter a reference using double curly brackets (e.g., `{{steps.mydata.$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:
