New Viewing Session on Wistia

Wistia Overview#

The Wistia API lets you dive deep into video analytics, manage your media library, and automate video workflows. It's great for developers aiming to extend the functionality of their Wistia-hosted content. When used within Pipedream, you can integrate Wistia with countless other apps and services to create robust automations. You could, for instance, update a CRM with video view data, send custom email alerts based on viewer behavior, or even synchronize video uploads with a content management system.

Trigger Code#

import wistia from "../../wistia.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "New Viewing Session",
  version: "0.0.3",

      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  methods: {
    async emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.event_key,
        summary: `New viewing session with id ${data.event_key}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.received_at),
      });
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getViewingSessions({
        params: {
          per_page: 10,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let page = 0;

    while (page >= 0) {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getViewingSessions({
        params: {
          page,
          per_page: 100,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);

      if (medias.length < 100) {
        return;
      }

      page++;
    }
  },
};

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
Wistia	`wistia`	`app`	This component uses the Wistia app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

When your Wistia account is created, a master token will automatically be generated for you account, which you can find in the API tab of your Account Settings in your Wistia account. This master token has full read/write permissions on your account. You can generate additional access tokens with various permissions as well.

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 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:
