Discord

Communication Webhook URL, or a bot token Windmill docs

Post messages, read a channel, open forum threads and answer slash commands from any Windmill script, flow or app. A webhook URL is enough to post; a bot token does the rest.

Set up in 3 steps

Create a webhook in your server

In Discord, open Server Settings, then Integrations, then Webhooks. Create one, pick the channel it posts to, and copy its URL.

Add the resource in Windmill

Open Resources, add a resource of type discord_webhook, and paste the URL.

Run your first script

Fork the send message script below, or set the error handler script as a flow's failure step to get alerts in the channel.

Questions

Webhook or bot?

A webhook only posts to the one channel it was created for, and needs no application — that covers alerts and reports. Create a Discord application and use the discord_bot_configuration resource when a script must read messages, manage threads, or answer interactions.

Where do the bot fields come from?

Create an application at discord.com/developers/applications. bot_token is on the Bot tab; application_id and public_key are on General Information.

Is my webhook URL stored on the hub?

Never. It lives only in your own Windmill workspace, encrypted at rest — and anyone holding that URL can post to the channel.
