Discord
The Discord block lets your workflow talk to a Discord server through a bot — send messages and rich embeds, manage channels and threads, assign roles, moderate members, and post through webhooks.
Community Automation: Connect a Discord bot once, then send alerts, welcome new members, create channels, and run moderation actions automatically from any workflow.
Key Features
- Messaging: Send, edit, and delete messages, post rich embeds, and add reactions
- Channel Management: Create, update, and delete channels, and start threads
- Roles & Members: Add or remove roles, list members, kick or ban users
- Server Tools: Create invites, read server info, and post via incoming webhooks
- 21 Operations: Everything runs through your own Discord bot token

Turn on Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced) to copy server, channel, message, user, and role IDs with a right-click.
Connecting your Discord bot
- Go to the Discord Developer Portal (opens in a new tab) and click New Application.
- Open the Bot tab and click Reset Token. Copy the bot token — this is the only credential Indite needs.
- Under OAuth2 → URL Generator, select the
botscope and the permissions your workflow uses (for example Send Messages, Manage Channels, Manage Roles, Kick Members, Ban Members). - Open the generated URL and invite the bot to your server.
- In Indite, add the Discord block, click Connect new, and paste the Bot Token.
⚠️
The bot can only act where it has permission. If an operation fails with a permission error, check the bot's role permissions in your server settings — and note that a bot cannot manage roles or members ranked above its own highest role.
Output
The block returns the raw Discord API response. Reference fields in later blocks with {{<blockId>.<field>}}.
| Operation | Output |
|---|---|
| Send/Get/Edit Message, Send Embed | The full message object (id, content, channel_id, author, ...) |
| List Messages / List Channels / List Members | An array of objects |
| Create Channel / Create Thread / Create Invite / Get Guild Info | The created or fetched object |
| Add/Remove Role, Delete Message, Kick/Ban Member, Add Reaction, Send Webhook | A simple confirmation flag such as { "added": true }, { "deleted": true }, or { "sent": true } |
Example: deployment alerts
- Webhook Trigger — your CI system calls the workflow when a deploy finishes.
- Condition — check whether the deploy succeeded or failed.
- Discord → Send Embed — post to the
#deploymentschannel with a green embed on success or a red one (embedColor: #ff0000) on failure, using{{trigger.data.version}}in the title.
