How do I list channels in a Discord server?

Short answer: You can list channels in Discord by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discord List Channels action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Channels.

What does the List Channels action do in Discord?

Lists all channels in a Discord server (guild) with their type, name, and parent category. Used to populate a channel picker.

What inputs does List Channels require?

Required: Server (Guild) 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 List Channels support batch operations?

Run List Channels 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.
