Discord works differently from other platforms. Instead of OAuth tokens, we use webhooks that you set up in your Discord server.

​
Quirks & Gotchas

​
Webhook-Based Posting

Discord doesn’t allow third-party apps to post as a user. Instead, we use webhooks.
  • You connect a Discord server and select which channels to enable.
  • We create a webhook for each channel.
  • Posts appear as a “bot” message with a customizable username and avatar.

​
Channel Selection Required

Unlike other platforms, you must specify a channelId in your post data. You can find available channels in the socialAccount.channels array.

​
Custom Bot Identity

You can customize how your posts appear:
  • username: Up to 80 characters. This is the name shown as the message author.
  • avatarUrl: A URL to an image that will be used as the bot’s avatar.
