Discord Node

Send messages to Discord channels using webhooks. This node is perfect for notifications, alerts, summaries, and workflow outputs.

What This Node Does

The Discord node allows you to:

• Send messages to any Discord channel

• Customize the bot name per message

• Inject dynamic data using variables

• Pass results to downstream nodes

How It Works

This node uses Discord Webhooks to send messages.

Instead of needing full bot setup, you simply:

1. Create a webhook in Discord

2. Paste the webhook URL into your node

3. Send messages instantly

Step 1: Create a Discord Webhook

Follow these steps inside Discord:

1. Open your server

2. Go to the channel you want to send messages to

3. Click Edit Channel

4. Go to Integrations

5. Click Webhooks

6. Click New Webhook

7. Copy the Webhook URL

It will look like:

https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...

Step 2: Configure the Node

When you open the Discord node, you’ll see the following fields:

Variable Name

This is the name used to reference this node’s output later.

Example:

myDiscord

You can use it in other nodes like:

{{myDiscord.messageContent}}

Webhook URL

Paste the webhook URL you copied from Discord.

⚠️ This is required — the node will fail without it.

Message Content

This is the message sent to Discord.

You can use dynamic variables from previous nodes.

Examples:

Simple value:

New order received: {{order.id}}

Using AI output:

Summary: {{myGemini.text}}

Stringifying objects:

Full data: {{json.order}}

Limits:

• 
  Max 2000 characters (Discord restriction)
  

Bot Username (Optional)

Override the default webhook name.

Example:

Syncaut Bot

Using Variables (Templating)

This node uses Handlebars templating.

You can inject data from previous nodes:

SyntaxDescription{{variable}}Simple value{{variable.field}}Nested value{{json.variable}}Full JSON output

Example Workflow

}

• Running → Message is being sent
  

• Success → Message sent successfully
