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

Discord Bot 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.

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.

About Discord Bot

MySQL Overview

MySQL is a powerful database management system used by some of the largest
organizations in the world, including Facebook, Google, and Amazon. MySQL is an
open-source relational database management system (RDBMS), as well as a popular
choice for web applications used by millions of websites.

Some applications that can be built using the MySQL API include:

  • A web application that stores and retrieves data from a MySQL database
  • A desktop application that uses a MySQL database for data storage
  • A mobile application that interacts with a MySQL database

Action Code

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";
import utils from "../common/utils.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-update-row",

    }

    if (conditionValues.length !== numberOfQuestionMarks) {

    }

    const {
      columns: columnsToUpdate, values: valuesToUpdate,
    } = await this.getColumnAndValueArrays(table);

    const result = await this.mysql.updateRow({

Action Configuration

LabelPropTypeDescription
MySQLmysqlappThis component uses the MySQL app.
TabletablestringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
Where conditionconditionstring

In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. column1 = ? or column2 = ?). Depending on the number of ? symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.

ValuesconditionValuesstring[]

This is the list of values that will match every ? symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. {{["string1", "string2"]}})

Action Authentication

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

Before you connect to your MySQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

  1. Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 3306), or

  2. Accessible from an SSH server that you route MySQL requests through

After that, enter the following values:

  • host: The hostname or IP address of your MySQL server
  • port: 3306, unless you run MySQL on a different port
  • username: The account username to log in
  • password: The account password to log in
  • database: The name of the MySQL database to run queries against
