Basecamp Overview#

The Basecamp API enables the automation of project management tasks, facilitating seamless interaction with Basecamp's project management tools. Through Pipedream, you can leverage the API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within Basecamp, sync data across various platforms, and enhance team collaboration with automated notifications and task management.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "basecamp-new-comment-created",
  name: "New Comment Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a comment is created. [See the documentation](https://github.com/basecamp/bc3-api/blob/master/sections/webhooks.md#webhooks)",
  version: "0.0.8",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookTypes() {
      return [
        "Comment",
      ];
    },
    getAllowedEvents() {
      return [
        "comment_created",
      ];
    },
  },
};

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
Basecamp	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Basecamp app.
Account ID	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Project ID	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

Basecamp uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Basecamp account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Basecamp and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Basecamp API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

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.
