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.
	`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.

KVdb Overview#

The KVdb API is a key-value store that facilitates simple data storage and retrieval operations. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to build serverless workflows that require quick data access and state management. Whether you're needing to store user preferences, cache data for repeat use, or coordinate distributed processes, KVdb's straightforward RESTful interface can be integrated into Pipedream's workflows to provide persistent storage solutions.

Action Authentication#

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

Not all API endpoints in KVdb require the use of an API key, however buckets can be protected with secret keys. They can be generated by sending a request the endpoint Create Bucket.
