Read Discord Messages
What it is
A block that reads messages from a Discord channel using a bot token.
What it does
This block connects to Discord using a bot token and retrieves messages from a specified channel. It can operate continuously or retrieve a single message.
How it works
The block uses a Discord bot to log into a server and listen for new messages. When a message is received, it extracts the content, channel name, and username of the sender. If the message contains a text file attachment, the block also retrieves and includes the file's content.
Inputs
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| Discord Bot Token | A secret token used to authenticate the bot with Discord |
| Continuous Read | A boolean flag indicating whether to continuously read messages or stop after one message |
Outputs
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Message Content | The text content of the received message, including any attached file content |
| Channel Name | The name of the Discord channel where the message was received |
| Username | The name of the user who sent the message |
Possible use case
This block could be used to monitor a Discord channel for support requests. When a user posts a message, the block captures it, allowing another part of the system to process and respond to the request.
Send Discord Message
What it is
A block that sends messages to a Discord channel using a bot token.
What it does
This block connects to Discord using a bot token and sends a specified message to a designated channel.
How it works
The block uses a Discord bot to log into a server, locate the specified channel, and send the provided message. If the message is longer than Discord's character limit, it automatically splits the message into smaller chunks and sends them sequentially.
Inputs
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| Discord Bot Token | A secret token used to authenticate the bot with Discord |
| Message Content | The text content of the message to be sent |
| Channel Name | Channel ID or channel name to send the message to |
Outputs
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | A string indicating the result of the operation (e.g., "Message sent" or "Channel not found") |
Possible use case
This block could be used as part of an automated notification system. For example, it could send alerts to a Discord channel when certain events occur in another system, such as when a new user signs up or when a critical error is detected.
