Discord is an instant messaging and voice call platform similar to Slack or Microsoft Teams. With the Discord integration, you can send messages to channels in your Discord server from a Glide app.
Adding and Configuring the Integration
To start using the Discord integration, you first need to add it to your project.
- In Glide, click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner.
- Click the Integrations tab and then select Discord.
- Click the Add to app button.
- Sign into your Discord account.
- Once you are signed in, select which Discord server you would like to connect to.
- Confirm which permissions you will give Glide. Select Authorize.
- Finally, give your Discord bot a name and choose an image for it. We recommend using a publically accessible image that is hosted online.
- You’re ready to send messages from your Glide app to Discord!
