Postmark Overview#

What Is the Postmark API?

The Postmark API enables developers to easily integrate programmatic emailing into their applications. With the API, developers can create, send, and track transactional emails that are designed to enhance user experience and user engagement. The API also provides developers with access to powerful analytics and insights, such as open/click rates, spam complaints, bounces, and unsubscribes.

What Can You Build With the Postmark API?

The Postmark API allows developers to easily incorporate automated email notifications into their applications. Some examples of what you can build using the API are:

Welcome emails
Password reset emails
Email verification reminders
Event notification emails
Automated transactional emails
Billing and invoicing emails
Receipt emails
Email newsletters
Auto-responders and more!

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
Postmark	`postmark`	`app`	This component uses the Postmark app.
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.
Track opens by default	`trackOpensByDefault`	`boolean`	If enabled, all emails being sent through this server will have open tracking enabled by default. Otherwise, only emails that have open tracking explicitly set will trigger this event when opened. Note: only emails with `HTML Body` will have open tracking enabled.
Track first open only	`postFirstOpenOnly`	`boolean`	If enabled, an event will only be emitted the first time the recipient opens the email. Otherwise, the event will be emitted every time an open occurs.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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",
  name: "Send Message (Advanced)",
  description: "Send a simple or structured message (using embeds) to a Discord channel",
  version: "1.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    message: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.discord,
        "message",
      ],
      optional: true,
    },
    embeds: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.discord,
        "embeds",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      message,
      avatarURL,
      threadID,
      username,
      includeSentViaPipedream,
      embeds: embedsProp,
    } = this;
    const embeds = embedsProp;

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

    let content = message;
    if (includeSentViaPipedream) {
      if (embeds?.length) {
        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,
        embeds,
        content,
      }, {
        thread_id: threadID,
      });
      $.export("$summary", "Message sent successfully");
      return resp || {
        success: true,
      };
    } catch (err) {
      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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Discord	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
channel	`channel`	`$.discord.channel`
Message	`message`	`string`	Enter a simple message up to 2000 characters. This is the most commonly used field. However, it's optional if you pass embed content.
Thread ID	`threadID`	`string`	If provided, the message will be posted to this thread
Username	`username`	`string`	Overrides the current username of the webhook
Avatar URL	`avatarURL`	`string`	If used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook. Note: Consecutive posts by the same username within 10 minutes of each other will not display updated avatar.
Include link to workflow	`includeSentViaPipedream`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.
Embeds	`embeds`	`any`	Optionally pass an array of embed objects. E.g., {{ [{"description":"Use markdown including Italic bold __underline__ ~~strikeout~~ [hyperlink](https://google.com) `code`"}] }}. To pass data from another step, enter a reference using double curly brackets (e.g., `{{steps.mydata.$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:
