Move credential-id from template tags to credential

Example action demonstrating using the Pleroma API via script to post the draft as markdown format.

IMPORTANT: Before using this action, edit the first to “Define Template Tag” steps to enter the Mastodon instance host and credential identifier to use.

For more examples, see our Mastodon Integration Guide

Steps

  • defineTemplateTag

    name
    mastodon-host
    template
    dabr.ca
  • defineTemplateTag

    name
    extra-tag
    template
    toot
  • script

    // grab host-id from tags
    let host = draft.processTemplate("[[mastodon-host]]")
    
    // validate values
    if (host.length == 0 || host == "your.mastodon") {
    	alert(`Mastodon host must be configured to run this action.
    
    Edit action and set your Mastodon host name (like "mastodon.social") as the template value in the first "Define Template Tag" action step.
    `)
    	context.cancel()
    }
    
    // credentials
    const credential = Credential.create('Markdown to Pleroma', "Send Markdown to Pleroma");
          credential.addPasswordField('credentialID', "Your ID in the fediverse server");
          credential.authorize();
    const credentialID = credential.getValue('credentialID');
    
    // validate values
    if (! credentialID) {
    	alert(`Credential ID must be configured to run this action.`)
    	context.cancel()
    }
  • script

    // create Mastodon instance
    let m = Mastodon.create(host, credentialID)
    
    // setup content to use
    let content = draft.content
    let extraTag = draft.processTemplate("[[extra-tag]]")
    
    // post to the /statuses endpoint
    let path = "/api/v1/statuses"
    let data = {
    	"status": content,
    	"source": "Drafts",
    	"content_type": "text/markdown",
    	"visibility": "public"
    }
    let response = m.request({
      "path": path,
      "method": "POST",
      "data": data
    })
    
    if (!response.success) {
    	console.log(`Post Failed: ${response.statusCode}, ${response.error}`)
    	context.fail()
    }
    else {
    	console.log(`Posted to Mastodon: ${response.responseData["url"]}`)
        draft.addTag(extraTag)
        draft.update()
    }
