Discord automation with Bizomate

If your team or community talks in Discord, that is where alerts and updates belong. Bizomate posts messages and files to a channel when something happens elsewhere — a release, a failed build, a new sign-up — and with a bot it can react and start a thread for the discussion. Every run leaves a record of what was posted.

What a workflow can do with it

Send a message
Posts to a Discord channel

With a webhook, leave Channel empty: it posts to the webhook's own channel, under the name and picture you give in Post as and Picture. With a bot, choose any channel in the bot's servers. Up to 2,000 characters, and an embed card under it if you like.

Send a file
Posts a file from an earlier step to a Discord channel

A file from an earlier step, up to 10 MB on most servers, with words to go with it.

Add a reaction
Puts an emoji on a message — needs a bot

Needs a bot. The emoji itself, or a server emoji as name:id.

Create a thread
Starts a thread in a channel — needs a bot

Needs a bot. It hangs off a message, by its id, or starts on its own.

How you connect it

Choose one of two kinds. A webhook URL, made in a channel's settings under Integrations › Webhooks, posts messages and files to that one channel. A bot token, from an app in the Discord Developer Portal invited to your server, posts to any channel the bot can see and can also add reactions and start threads; it needs none of Discord's privileged intents. Bizomate asks Discord for the webhook or the bot before saving, and Test answers "Reached the webhook Acme alerts · Discord" or "Reached Acme Bot · Discord bot".

Either is encrypted before it is saved, used only when a step runs or a test calls Discord, and never shown again — not to you, your colleagues or Bizomate support. It belongs to one workspace, the Code step cannot read it, and revoking the connection wipes it at once.

In the help centre: Connect Discord, Send a message or file to Discord and React to a message or start a thread in Discord.

Questions about Discord

Webhook or bot — which do I need?

A webhook, for alerts to one channel: it takes a minute to make and needs nothing else. A bot, to post to several channels from one connection, or to add reactions and start threads.

Can a Discord message start a workflow?

Not today — Discord has no trigger in Bizomate. Start the workflow with a schedule, a form, a webhook or another app, and use Discord's steps from there.

Which permissions does the bot need?

When you invite it: View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Read Message History, Add Reactions, Create Public Threads and Send Messages in Threads.

Can it post as a different name for each alert?

With a webhook, yes: Post as and Picture on Send a message set the name and picture for that message. A bot always posts as itself.
