Post responses to Discord

The Discord integration posts a message to a channel for every response, so your server or community sees it right away.

Create a webhook in Discord

You need the Manage Webhooks permission on the server.

1. In Discord, open the channel’s settings with the gear icon next to its name.
2. Open Integrations → Webhooks and click New Webhook.
3. Click the new webhook and click Copy Webhook URL. It starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/.

Set it up in StrawPoll

1. Open Integrations in your dashboard, click Add an integration and choose Discord.
2. Paste the webhook URL.
3. Choose the poll and whether to post new responses, changed responses or both, then save.
4. Click Send test. A test message shows up in the channel.

What a message looks like

Messages come from StrawPoll, whatever the webhook is called in Discord. Each one says who responded to which poll, links to the poll and lists up to ten answers, with the time it was sent. Respondents without a name show their email, or Anonymous. Changed responses say changed their response to, and tests start with [Test].

Answers never ping anyone: an @everyone or a user mention in an answer shows as text.

To post to more than one channel, add an integration for each channel.

Keep the webhook private

Anyone with the webhook URL can post to the channel. If it leaks, delete the webhook in the channel’s settings, create a new one and paste it into the integration.
