Discord Triggers & Actions
Here are the triggers & actions you can use in your workflows:
Discord Triggers
| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| New Message | Triggers when a new message is posted in a Discord channel |
New Message — Trigger Outputs
Every downstream step can reference the four variables the trigger emits. Use them in Send Message, Add Task, agent prompts, or as inputs to Branch and Filter Data steps.
| Variable | What it holds | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
text |
The full message body as plain text | Feed into Ask Agent, Filter Data, or Add Task |
author |
The Discord username/handle of the sender | Personalize replies, filter by who posted |
channelId |
Discord channel ID where the message was posted | Route differently per channel; pass to Send Message to reply in-place |
messageId |
The Discord message ID | Reference a specific message in follow-up steps or external tooling |
💡 Tip: To reply in the same thread, pass
channelIdstraight into the Send Message action so the response posts back to the originating channel.
