How to post announcements to Discord automatically?

Use a channel webhook: any tool that can send an HTTP POST can post to it.

Do followers get webhook posts?

Messages in an announcement channel reach following servers when they are published; check that your webhook posts are published.

Can I ping a role on incidents?

Yes, include the role mention in the message and make sure the webhook is allowed to mention it.

How do I post status page and incident updates to Discord automatically?

Updated November 12, 2026 · SaaS support

Create an announcement channel called #status, add a webhook to it (Edit Channel > Integrations > Webhooks), and paste the webhook URL into your status page, monitoring or CI tool. Discord also accepts Slack-formatted payloads at the webhook URL plus /slack, which many tools support. Members can Follow #status to receive updates in their own servers.

Ways to get incident updates into Discord
Source	How	Note
Status page tool with Discord or webhook support	Paste the channel webhook URL	Check the tool's notification settings
Tool that only supports Slack webhooks	Webhook URL + /slack	Slack-compatible endpoint
GitHub	Webhook URL + /github	GitHub-compatible endpoint for repo events
Your own monitoring	POST JSON to the webhook	content or embeds fields
Automation tools (Zapier, Make)	Discord action or webhook	Good for RSS-only status pages

Setup

Create #status as an announcement channel; only Admin and the webhook post.
Edit Channel > Integrations > Webhooks > New Webhook. Name it 'Status', set the avatar.
Copy the webhook URL and add it to your status tool.
Post a test incident and confirm the format.
Publish (crosspost) messages so followers receive them, or let a bot auto-publish.

Keep the webhook secret

Anyone with the URL can post as that webhook. Store it like a password, rotate it if it leaks, and limit Manage Webhooks to admins.
