Discord Integration Guide

How Discord integration works

Discord webhooks are special URLs bound to a channel. When you paste a webhook URL into DropForm, DropForm will POST a message into that channel for every new submission.

Best for

Indie makers, communities, small teams, internal monitoring channels, and rapid feedback loops.

What you need before you start

• A Discord server where you have permission to manage webhooks
• A target channel
• A Discord webhook URL for that channel

Step-by-step setup

1) Create a webhook in Discord

1. Open your server
2. Go to Channel Settings → Integrations → Webhooks
3. Click New Webhook
4. Select the target channel and copy the webhook URL

2) Paste it into DropForm

1. Open your form in DropForm
2. Go to Integrations → Discord
3. Paste the webhook URL
4. Click Save

3) Send a test submission

Submit your form and confirm a new message appears in Discord.

Message format

DropForm formats a readable message (often as an embed) containing submission fields and a link back to DropForm.

Troubleshooting

Nothing arrives

• Confirm the webhook URL is correct and not revoked
• Make sure you pasted the full URL (not just part of it)
• Check if the channel or server permissions changed

Messages arrive but formatting looks off

• Field names that are too long can reduce readability
• Try shorter field labels for your form inputs

Security notes

• Webhook URLs are secrets: anyone with the URL can post into that channel.
• If it leaks, revoke the webhook in Discord and generate a new one.
• Use a private channel for production notifications.

FAQ

Can I route different forms to different channels?

Yes — create a separate Discord webhook per channel and connect each form to the webhook you want.

Can I receive file uploads?

DropForm can include a link to the submission where files are available securely. Depending on your setup, it may also include direct file links (recommended only for private channels).
