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 event when a merge request is created
Version:0.1.2
Key:gitlab-new-merge-request

GitLab Overview

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Trigger Code

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { eventTypes } from "../common/hook-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "gitlab-new-merge-request",
  name: "New Merge Request (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a merge request is created",
  version: "0.1.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  type: "source",
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async activate() {
      await this.activateHook(eventTypes.MERGE_REQUESTS_EVENTS);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    isNewMergeRequest(event) {
      const action = event?.object_attributes?.action;
      const expectedAction = "open";
      return action === expectedAction;
    },
    generateMeta({
      user, mergeRequest,
    }) {
      const {
        name,
        username,
      } = user;
      const {
        id,
        created_at: createdAt,
        title,
      } = mergeRequest;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New Merge Request: "${title}" by ${name} (${username})`,
        ts: +new Date(createdAt),
      };
    },
    async emitEvent(event) {
      // Gitlab doesn't offer a specific hook for "new merge request" events,
      // but such event can be deduced from the payload of "merge request" events.
      if (this.isNewMergeRequest(event)) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta({
          user: event.user,
          mergeRequest: event.object_attributes,
        });
        this.$emit(event, meta);
      }
    },
  },
};

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
GitLabgitlabappThis component uses the GitLab app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
N/Ahttp$.interface.httpThis 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.
Project IDprojectIdintegerSelect a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

Action

Description:Send message to a user or a channel. [See the docs here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#create-dm) and [here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message)
Version:0.0.12
Key:discord_bot-send-message

Discord Bot Overview

The Discord Bot API unlocks the power to interact with Discord users and channels programmatically, making it possible to automate messages, manage servers, and integrate with other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that respond to events in Discord, process data, and trigger actions in other apps. This opens up opportunities for community engagement, content moderation, analytics, and more, without the overhead of managing infrastructure.

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
Discord BotdiscordappThis component uses the Discord Bot app.
GuildguildIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
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.

Embedsembedsany

Embedded rich content (up to 6000 characters), this should be given as an array, e.g. [{"title": "Hello, Embed!","description": "This is an embedded message."}]. 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.

Thread IDthreadIDstring

If provided, the message will be posted to this thread

Usernameusernamestring

Overrides the current username

Avatar URLavatarURLstring

If used, it overrides the default avatar

Include link to workflowincludeSentViaPipedreamboolean

Defaults to true, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.

UseruserIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
ChannelchannelIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication

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

This app allows you to use the Discord API using your own Discord bot. If you don't want to use a custom bot, and you just need to use the Discord API, exit this screen and use the Discord app, instead.


If you want to use your own Discord bot, but haven't created one yet, see these instructions or watch this video. You'll need to add this bot to your server(s) to make successful API requests.

Once you've created your bot, you'll find the Bot token within the Bot section of your app. Enter that token below.
