🎮 Discord Message

Sends a message to a Discord channel using a Discord webhook URL or bot token. Supports plain text messages and rich embeds with titles, descriptions, and colour coding.

Category: Notifications & Messaging · Type identifier: discord_message

Overview

The Discord Message node posts a message to any Discord channel you have configured a webhook for. Discord webhooks are created inside your server's channel settings and allow external services to post messages without a full bot setup.

For simple alerts, fill in the Content field only. For richer messages with a title, description, and a coloured border stripe, provide the optional embed fields. Both Content and embed fields can reference workflow variables using {{ variable }} syntax, making it straightforward to include dynamic values such as run status, error messages, or record IDs.

Configuration

Field	Status	Description
Webhook URL	Required	The Discord channel webhook URL. Create one in Discord channel settings → Integrations → Webhooks.
Content	Required	The text message to send. Supports `{{ variable }}` references. Supports Discord markdown (`bold`, `_italic_`, `code`, multi-line code blocks).
Username	Optional	Override the webhook's default display name, e.g. `Flusso Bot`.
Avatar URL	Optional	URL to an image to use as the webhook's avatar. Overrides the default.
Embed Title	Optional	If set, adds a rich embed card below the message with this title.
Embed Description	Optional	Body text of the embed card.
Embed Colour	Optional	Hex colour for the embed's left border stripe, e.g. `#5865F2` (Discord blurple).

Output Data

After the message is sent, the following fields are available on the step output:

Field	Type	Description
`success`	boolean	True if the message was accepted by Discord.
`message_id`	string	The ID of the sent message (when using a bot token; not available with webhooks).

Example Usage

Add an Error Trigger node as the workflow trigger, so the workflow fires whenever another workflow encounters an error.
Add a Discord Message node. Set Webhook URL to your team's alert channel webhook. Set Content to reference the error details:
**Workflow error** in `{{ trigger.output.workflow_name }}` Error: {{ trigger.output.error_message }} Run: {{ trigger.output.run_url }}
Optionally set Embed Title to Error Details, Embed Description to {{ trigger.output.stack_trace }}, and Embed Colour to #ED4245 (Discord red) for visually prominent alerts.

Tips & Notes

Keep webhook URLs private. Anyone with the URL can post to your channel. Do not commit webhook URLs to source control or include them in shared logs.
Content limit. Discord enforces a 2000-character limit on the Content field. Use the embed fields for longer supplementary details.
Embed colour format. The Embed Colour field accepts standard hex values such as #5865F2. The node converts them to the decimal integer format Discord requires.
Both fields together. You can combine Content and embed fields in the same message — Discord renders them as a text message followed by the embed card.
