How do I send a Discord message from a bot?

Short answer: You can send message in Discord by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discord Send Message action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Send Message.

What does the Send Message action do in Discord?

Sends a message to a Discord channel via the bot, with optional embeds, components (buttons/select menus), and reply target. The default Discord notification action.

What inputs does Send Message require?

Required: Channel ID, Message Content. 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 Send Message support batch operations?

Run Send 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.
