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 events when files get created, changed or deleted from a remote directory. [See the docs](https://github.com/theophilusx/ssh2-sftp-client#orgfac43d1)
Version:0.0.1
Key:sftp_password_based_auth-watch-remote-directory

SFTP (password-based auth) Overview

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol that provides secure
file transfers over secure shell (SSH) connections. It is an extension of the
Secure Shell protocol, designed for secure file exchange between hosts. A user
can securely transfer files between systems without having to worry about
external threats, as the protocol is encrypted and authenticated.

With the SFTP API, you can build applications that securely transfer data, such
as files and documents, between two different systems. Some example
applications include:

  • Secure document sharing between two systems
  • Secure file synchronization between two systems
  • Secure backups of data over the network
  • Secure transfers of large files
  • Secure uploads and downloads of data
  • Media streaming between two systems

Trigger Code

import sftpApp from "../../sftp_password_based_auth.app.mjs";
import base from "../../../sftp/sources/watch-remote-directory/watch-remote-directory.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "sftp_password_based_auth-watch-remote-directory",
  name: "New Remote Directory Watcher",
  description: "Emit new events when files get created, changed or deleted from a remote directory. [See the docs](https://github.com/theophilusx/ssh2-sftp-client#orgfac43d1)",

      return await this.sftpApp.connect();
    },

};

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.

Trigger Authentication

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

Below, enter the hostname of the SFTP server you'd like to connect to, your username, and the password you'd like to use to connect.

This app only supports password-based authentication, not authentication via private key. If you need to use a private key to connect to a host, please use the SFTP (key-based auth) app, instead.

Action

Description:Send a simple or structured message (using embeds) to a Discord channel
Version:1.0.1
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",
  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.

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.

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:
