Post messages from your site to a **Discord** channel through a channel webhook — new leads,
form submissions, orders and community sign-ups.

## Setup

In **Settings → Connectors → Discord**:

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **Webhook URL** *(secret)* | A Discord channel webhook URL (starts `https://discord.com/api/webhooks/`). |

To get the URL:

1. In Discord, open **Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks**.
2. Select **New Webhook** and pick the channel it posts to.
3. Set the name and avatar the messages should show — the connector uses what you set here.
4. Select **Copy Webhook URL** and paste it into the field.

If your URL starts with `discordapp.com`, replace that part with `discord.com` before saving.

The URL itself is the credential — anyone holding it can post to that channel. It is encrypted on
the server and never appears in your site.

## Example prompts

Describe the trigger in chat — no special syntax needed:

- *"post new form submissions to my community channel"*
- *"send a Discord message when someone signs up, with their name"*
- *"announce every completed order in my Discord"*

## Formatting the message

Messages use Discord markdown: `**bold**`, `*italic*`, `` `code` `` and `> quote`. Discord accepts
up to 2,000 characters per message, so long free-text answers are shortened.

## Use cases

- **Community sign-up pings** in a welcome channel.
- **Lead and order alerts** for your team.
- A **message on any action**, such as a button click.

## Things worth knowing

- **The channel is fixed by the webhook.** To post somewhere else, create a webhook in that
  channel and save the new URL.
- **Forms can notify Discord without chat.** In a form's settings, **Also notify in** sends each
  new submission to Discord once the connector is connected. See [Forms](https://support.estage.com/visual-editor-forms).
- Republish your site after configuring so the live site picks up the connector.
