Discord
Post each non-spam submission to a Discord channel using a channel webhook. Discord is a Pro+ integration.
How it works
Once connected, Formcrest posts a formatted message to your chosen Discord channel on every non-spam submission. Each message includes the form name and the submitted fields, so your team sees new responses without leaving Discord. Spam-flagged submissions are never posted — see Spam protection for how those are detected.
Discord is one of several delivery destinations. If you need to send submissions to your own endpoint instead of (or in addition to) Discord, see Webhooks.
Step 1 — Create a webhook in Discord
Discord delivers messages through a channel webhook. To create one:
- Open the channel where submissions should be posted.
- Select Edit Channel, then Integrations.
- Choose Webhooks, then New Webhook.
- Select Copy Webhook URL.
The URL Discord gives you is on discord.com and looks like this:
https://discord.com/api/webhooks/000000000000000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Treat this URL like a secret — anyone who has it can post to your channel. If it leaks, delete the webhook in Discord and create a new one.
Step 2 — Connect it in Formcrest
In Formcrest:
- Open your dashboard and select the form you want to connect.
- Go to Integrations.
- Choose Discord.
- Paste the webhook URL you copied from Discord.
- Select Connect.
We only accept URLs on the official Discord hosts — discord.com or discordapp.com — over HTTPS. A URL on any other host is rejected, so double-check that you pasted the value exactly as Discord provided it.
Delivery failures and auto-disable
If Discord repeatedly rejects our messages — for example because the webhook was deleted or the channel was removed — Formcrest automatically disables the Discord integration for that form after repeated delivery failures. This prevents pointless retries against a destination that will never succeed.
To recover, create a fresh webhook in Discord and reconnect: remove the Discord integration from the form and add it again with the new URL. Removing and re-adding resets the failure state.
Notes
- Discord delivery is available on Pro and higher plans.
- Only non-spam submissions are posted to Discord.
- Each message contains the form name and the submitted fields for that single submission.
