Discord Message is a Step (action) in Messaging › Social. Posts a message to a Discord channel via the Bot API.
When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Discord Message against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.
Discord Message is a action step in the Messaging › Social group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.
Typical reasons teams add Discord Message to a flow:
Common patterns on the canvas:
Bot token and default channel ID from Node Configuration → Discord. Message or a public https image URL is required.
Enable Developer Mode in Discord to copy channel IDs. The bot must have Send Messages permission in the target channel.
The designer shows these tabs for this node:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Info | Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps |
| General | Canvas label and read-only node ID |
| AI | Optional assistant to help draft settings from plain language |
| Design | Node-specific configuration fields |
These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

text | Message | textarea | Yes | — | Discord message text or {{node_id.field}} (max 2000 characters) |
imageUrl | Image URL (optional) | payload-text | No | — | https://example.com/image.png Public https URL shown as an embed image. Message text can be empty if an image URL is set. |
Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.
After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{discord_message.success}}.
| Field key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success | boolean | Whether the operation completed successfully. |
messageId | string | Provider message or email identifier. |
channelId | string | Text value from this node's output. |
content | string | Main text content from the LLM response. |
message | string | Human-readable status, error, or result summary. |
