How do I delete a Discord message?
Short answer: You can delete message in Discord by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discord Delete Message action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.

|---|---|---|---|
Channel ID channel_id | string | Required | Channel ID. Example: 123456789012345678 |
Message ID message_id | string | Required | Message ID. Example: 987654321098765432 |
Sample request
{"channel_id": "e.g. 123456789012345678","message_id": "e.g. 987654321098765432"}
Returns

Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Delete Message.
What does the Delete Message action do in Discord?
Deletes a message from a Discord channel. The bot can delete its own messages, or any message in channels where it has Manage Messages permission.
What inputs does Delete Message require?
Required: Channel ID, Message ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Discord returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Discord returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Delete Message support batch operations?
Run Delete Message inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Discord's rate limits.
