Discord

The Discord communication extension provides a bot which can be triggered from Discord to request information from the INETAPP server. Webhooks, provided by Discord, can be set up for usage with the task planner - to send status or notification messages.

Discord Bot

The Discord bot allows to request information from the INETAPP server. The list of available commands is returned if the bot is triggered without a specific command.

The process of creating a bot connection is straight forward and described here in addition to the configuration page:

  1. Select "New Application"
    • configure optional icon and description
  2. Select "Bot" from the side navigation
  3. In the "Bot" page, select "Copy Token"
    • Past this Token into the respective configuration page.
    • Note: Public Bot can be on or off
    • Note: Requires OAuth2 Code Grant must be off
  4. Click "Add bot to Discord" in the INETAPP server configuration

Now you can set up a custom command to activate the bot, e.g. required if there are multiple bots. Do not forget to enable the bot. After applying the configuration you can start talking with your bot.

Discord Webhooks

A Webhook is an alternative way of sending information to discord. Webhooks are used, e.g. by the Task Planner to send notification messages to a given channel.

The configuration of webhooks allows to have them re-used at various places and by the users. A web hook is created by a server administrator in Discord.

  1. Open "Server Settings"
  2. Select "Integrations"
  3. Select "View Webhooks"
  4. Select "New Webhook"
    • You can now set an icon and the default name of the webook
  5. Copy the Webhook URL and paste it into the configuration
