Val Town + Pipedream Connect Integration

This application allows Val Town users to authenticate and connect to external services via Pipedream Connect.

Pipedream Actions

For example, send a Slack or Discord message, create a Linear ticket, or update a row in Google Sheets.

  1. Select the app (Slack, Discord, Linear, Google, Sheets, 2k+ others)
  2. Select "Action" type
  3. Select which action ("Send a message", "Make a ticket", etc)
  4. Connfigure the action's parameters
  5. Test-run the action
  6. Copy the code provided to trigger that action from any Val Town server-side code

Pipedream Triggers

  • list existing triggers
  • list trigger & endpoint
  • Let triggers be updated
  • Let trigger be deleted
  • Help users connect trigger to val more directly than copying endpoint (via val town sdk)

Custom OAuth clients

  • Docs: https://pipedream.com/docs/connect/managed-auth/oauth-clients/#using-a-custom-oauth-client
  • I made one for discord, but am struggling to figure out where to supply the oauthAppId. I asked Pipedream.

Misc todos

  • Automatically include "includeSentViaPipedream": false for Discord and Slack
  • Spotify demo
  • Notion demo, organize everything around date tags
  • How do we teach Townie how to use this
    • search for potential actions (maybe their mcp can help?)
  • (Maybe) Store everyone's actions & give debug history panel (unless they disable it?)

Authentication

This app uses Val Town API tokens for authentication. (Eventually, we'll swap this for Val Town OAuth.)

To login, create and supply a Val Town API token with the user:read scope only. We store it in cookies.

To run actions on connected apps, you'll also need to supply a Val Town API token. If you're doing this from within Val Town, you can use process.env.valtown, which this app's client libraries will use by default.
