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.
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:
Public Bot
can be on or offRequires OAuth2 Code Grant
must be offNow 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.
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.
