New Message in Channel on Discord Bot

Description:Emit new event for each message posted to one or more channels

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.

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
Discord Bot	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord Bot app.
Guild	`guildId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Channels	`channels`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit messages as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all messages are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each Discord message as its own event in Pipedream
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger 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.

Pushbullet Overview#

Pushbullet acts as a bridge, connecting your devices with push notifications and file sharing capabilities. By leveraging the Pushbullet API on Pipedream, you can automate notifications for a host of events, enabling real-time alerts on your phone, browser, or desktop. Whether you're monitoring server uptimes, tracking sales, or simply staying on top of to-do lists, integrating Pushbullet with other services via Pipedream workflows can streamline your notification management and data sharing tasks.

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
Pushbullet	`pushbullet`	`app`	This component uses the Pushbullet app.
Device	`device`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Email	`email`	`string`	Send the push to this email address. If that email address is associated with a Pushbullet user, we will send it directly to that user, otherwise we will fallback to sending an email to the email address (this will also happen if a user exists but has no devices registered).
Channel Tag	`channel_tag`	`string`	Send the push to all subscribers to your channel that has this tag.
Push Type	`type`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`notelinkfile`

Action Authentication#

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

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