Send Discord Message#

The Send Discord Message node allows you to send a message to a specified channel in Discord from your Magick spell. This is useful for sending notifications, alerts, or any other information from your spell to a Discord server.

Inputs#

• flow (required): The flow from the previous node in the spell.
• content (required): The text content of the message to send to Discord. This can include plain text, emoji, and basic markdown formatting.
• channel (required): The ID of the Discord channel to send the message to. This should be a string in the format CHANNEL_ID.

Outputs#

• flow: The flow continues to the next node in the spell after the message is sent.

Configuration#

This node does not have any additional configuration options.

Usage#

1. Add the Send Discord Message node to your spell.
2. Connect the flow input to the output of the previous node in your spell.
3. Set the content input to the text you want to include in your Discord message. You can include emoji and basic markdown formatting.
4. Set the channel input to the ID of the Discord channel where you want to send the message. You can find the channel ID by right-clicking the channel in Discord and selecting "Copy ID".
5. Connect the flow output to the next node in your spell, if applicable.

Example#

Here's an example of how to use the Send Discord Message node in a spell:

1. Use a Trigger node to start the spell, such as a Schedule trigger to run the spell daily.
2. Use a HTTP Request node to fetch some data from an API.
3. Use a Transform Data node to extract the relevant information from the API response.
4. Use the Send Discord Message node to send a summary of the extracted data to a Discord channel.
   • Set content to a string that includes the summary information, e.g. "Daily update: There were 25 new signups today!"
   • Set channel to the ID of your "daily-updates" Discord channel.
5. Use a Debug node to log a message indicating the spell ran successfully.

Best Practices#

• Be mindful of the content you send to public Discord channels. Avoid sending sensitive information.
• Use clear and concise language in your messages to make them easy for your audience to understand.
• Take advantage of Discord's formatting options to make your messages more readable and visually appealing.
• If sending messages to a busy channel, consider using Discord threads to keep conversations organized.

Troubleshooting#

• Make sure you have the correct channel ID specified in the channel input. An incorrect ID will cause the message to fail to send.
• Check that your Magick app has the necessary permissions in your Discord server to send messages to the specified channel.
• If your message content includes special characters, make sure they are properly escaped to avoid formatting issues.
