Discord

Interact with Discord using webhooks or the Bot API.

Setup

1. Check existing credentials:

   vault_get discord_webhook_url
   vault_get discord_bot_token
   

   Use webhook URL for simple notifications; use bot token for full Bot API (channels, messages, guilds).

2. Webhook (easiest):

   • Go to Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks in your Discord server
   • Click "New Webhook", name it, select channel
   • Copy the Webhook URL
   • Save to vault:

     vault_save discord_webhook_url "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/ID/TOKEN"
     

   The URL is auto-injected as $DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL.

3. Bot API (more features):

   • Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
   • Create an application, add a bot, copy the Bot Token
   • Save to vault:

     vault_save discord_bot_token "your-bot-token"
     

   The token is auto-injected as $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN.

Send Messages (Webhook)

# Simple message
curl -s -X POST "$DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Hello from DevClaw!"}'

# With username and avatar override
curl -s -X POST "$DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Custom message",
    "username": "DevClaw Bot",
    "avatar_url": "https://example.com/avatar.png"
  }'

# With embed (rich formatting)
curl -s -X POST "$DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

      "color": 3447003,
      "fields": [
        {"name": "Status", "value": "Success", "inline": true},
        {"name": "Time", "value": "Now", "inline": true}
      ]
    }]
  }'

Bot API (More Features)

# Requires DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN (stored in vault)

# Send message to channel
curl -s -X POST "https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/CHANNEL_ID/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bot $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Hello!"}'

# Get channel messages

# List guilds (servers)
curl -s "https://discord.com/api/v10/users/@me/guilds" \
  -H "Authorization: Bot $DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {id, name}'

Embed Examples

# Status embed with color coding
curl -s -X POST "$DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "embeds": [{
      "title": "Deploy Status",
      "description": "Production deployment completed",
      "color": 3066993,
      "footer": {"text": "DevClaw Automation"}
    }]
  }'
