Is any one successful of achieveing the webhook with discord?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around integrating Discourse webhooks with Discord. Alankrit_Choudh reports a 400 error despite following Discord’s guide. Falco shares a working cURL example and suggests using a plugin or convincing Discord to support Discourse’s format. Falco later updates that using Zapier as a middleman works well, though cryptochrome notes Zapier’s limitations due to its free tier constraints. DanielMarquard offers a PHP-based solution hosted on a web server. david introduces a new plugin, discourse-chat-integration, which enables direct Discord notifications without external tools or custom scripts.
Looks like Discord need something like this:
curl -X POST --data '{ "embeds": [{"title": "Topic Title", "url": "https://example.com", "description": "This is a test for webhooks", "type": "link", "thumbnail": {"url": "https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/b/cb4bec8901221d4a646e45e1fa03db3a65e17f59.png"}}] }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://canary.discordapp.com/api/webhooks/url
that results:
You will need a plugin to format Discourse Webhook properly, or convince Discord to parse our webhook format (they already do exceptions for Github and Slack).
Update:
Using Zapier as the middleman, it’s pretty easy to integrate a Discourse webhook to Discord!
Use this template for new topics:

Thanks. The problem with Zapier is they are not free. You have to start paying after a low amount of Zap triggers.
I’ve made one you can use, you just need a web server running PHP to receive and process the webhooks from Discourse before sending them to Discord.
Another option is the new discourse-chat-integration plugin I’m working on - it can post new topics to Discord without Zapier or scripts on any other server.
