> Turning Discord on in Ready-made integrations: create the channel webhook in Discord, paste the URL, choose the events and check with Send test. Messages carry only the first name, in the community's language.

Discord posts a short message to a channel for each chosen event: *"Posts a short message to a Discord channel for each chosen event."* It lets the team (or the community itself, in an open channel) follow who joined, bought or completed a course.

*Role: owner and admin.* How to turn on, test, disable and remove any app is in [Ready-made integrations](/integracoes/integracoes-prontas).

## 1. Create the URL in Discord

You need permission to manage webhooks on the Discord server.

1. In Discord, open the **Channel settings** (the gear next to the channel name).
2. Go to **Integrations** › **Webhooks** › **New webhook**.
3. Give it a name (it shows as the author of the messages, for example *Memberfy*) and, if you like, an image.
4. Click **Copy webhook URL**.

The URL starts with `https://discord.com/api/webhooks/`. Whoever has the URL can post in the channel: keep it like a password.

## 2. Turn it on in Memberfy

1. In **Settings › Integrations and APIs › Integrations**, click **Discord**.
2. Paste it into **Channel webhook URL**.
3. Choose the events and check **This app will receive: …**.
4. Click **Turn on** and then **Send test**. The channel shows *"Memberfy test: the integration is working."*

A URL that is not Discord's is refused: *"This URL does not belong to this app's provider."*

## What reaches the channel

| Event | Message |
|---|---|
| A member joined the community | *Maria joined the community.* |
| A purchase was completed | *Maria bought Career Mentoring.* |
| A subscription started | *Maria subscribed to Growth Plan.* |
| A subscription was canceled | *Maria canceled their Growth Plan subscription.* |
| A member registered for an event | *Maria registered for October Meetup.* |
| A member completed a course | *Maria completed the course First Steps.* |

- Only the **first name**, never the last name or the e-mail.
- In the **community's language**, not the reader's.
- No message mentions `@everyone` or anyone on the server, even if the person's name has an `@`.
- A name or title that looks like a link is not posted: *"Someone"* or *"(untitled)"* goes instead.

## Common problems

- **The test says the provider could not find the channel.** The webhook was deleted in Discord. Create another, paste the new URL and save.
- **The app became Failing.** Discord refused deliveries for 72 hours (usually because the webhook was deleted). Change the URL, save and click **Turn on**. See [Turned off after failures](/integracoes/integracoes-prontas#turned-off-after-failures).
