Discord

Post messages and rich embeds to a Discord channel through a webhook, or read channels and messages and add reactions with a bot.

Needs a Discord connection — 

Pick a saved connection in the Credential field, or create one from there. It signs in with a Bearer Token.

What it does

The Discord node has two ways in, depending on the Resource:

• Webhook → Send posts to the one channel a webhook belongs to. You can send plain Message text, a rich embed (title, link, description, thumbnail image), or both. Username changes the sender name for this message only.
• Channel and Message use a bot: get a channel’s details, list a server’s channels, read a channel’s latest messages (50 by default, up to 100), get one message, or add a reaction.

The bot cannot send messages; use Webhook → Send for that.

When to use it

• Report a page change, price drop or failed check to a team channel.
• Post a card with a title, link and screenshot thumbnail using the embed fields.
• Read a channel’s recent messages and summarize them with an AI node.
• Mark a message as handled by reacting with ✅.

Need an operation that isn't listed? — 

Call the Discord API yourself with the HTTP Request node, and pick the same connection in its Credential field.

Use HTTP Request →

• Leave Message empty if you fill the embed fields; at least one of them must have content.
• Embed Thumbnail URL must be a public image link. Embed Description accepts Discord Markdown, for example **Price:** {{ $input.price }}.
• Emoji is a plain emoji such as 👍, or a server emoji written as name:id, for example done:123456789012345678.
• Channel, message and server ids are long numbers. In Discord, turn on Developer Mode (User settings → Advanced), then right-click a channel, message or server and choose Copy ID.

Outputs

• Output

• Webhook → Send returns the posted message, including its id.
• Channel → List and Get messages return a list, one entry per channel or message, newest message first. Each message has content, author and timestamp.
• Message → React returns an empty object when the reaction is added.

Dependencies and credentials

• Credential (connection, Bearer Token): required. See Connect Discord.

The secret you store depends on the resource. Create one credential for each, and pick the right one on the node.

• Webhook: store the full webhook URL. In Discord, open the channel’s Edit Channel → Integrations → Webhooks, create a webhook and copy its URL. Anyone with this URL can post to the channel, so keep it secret.
• Channel and Message: store a bot token from the Discord Developer Portal (your application → Bot → Reset Token). Invite the bot to your server, and turn on Message Content Intent on the Bot page if you need to read message text.

See Create a credential.

Example workflow

1. A Schedule trigger runs every hour.
2. Get HTML from Link loads a product page, and HTML Extract reads the price.
3. IF continues only when the price is below 50.
4. Discord, Webhook → Send, Embed Title Price drop, Embed URL the product link, Embed Description Now {{ $input.price }}.

Common issues

• “Discord API Error: Unknown Webhook”. The webhook URL is wrong or the webhook was deleted. Create a new one and update the credential.
• “Discord API Error: rate limited”. Discord received too many requests. Run the workflow less often.
• “Discord API Error: 401: Unauthorized” on Channel or Message. The credential holds a webhook URL or an invalid token. Use a bot token credential.
• “Discord API Error: Missing Access”. The bot is not in that server, or cannot see the channel. Invite it, or give its role access to the channel.
• The run is blocked in the web app. Discord runs through the browser extension. Install the extension and allow Discord for this workflow when asked, or run the workflow from the extension.
