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:

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.
