Notifications
Discord
Deploy alerts in your Discord server.
Discord long ago outgrew gaming — it's now the default home for developer communities, indie teams and plenty of companies that prefer voice channels and a lighter feel than Slack. If that's where your people are, that's where your deploy alerts should land. Hook up a Discord webhook and Rocketeers posts deployment, build and status updates straight into your server.
What you get with Discord
- Deploy, build and status notifications posted to any channel in your server.
- Uptime and incident alerts, so problems surface in the conversation immediately.
- Webhook-based delivery — no bot to invite, host or keep online.
- Different webhooks for different channels if you want alerts split by site or severity.
- A running, timestamped history of what shipped and when, right in the channel.
How the integration works
In your Discord server, open the channel's settings, go to Integrations → Webhooks and create one — Discord gives you a URL. Paste that URL into Rocketeers and notifications start flowing: deploys, builds, downtime and recovery. Creating the webhook requires the Manage Webhooks permission on the channel, so either do it as a server admin or ask one.
Good to know
- Webhooks are free on every Discord server; no Nitro, boosts or paid anything required.
- Each webhook is bound to a single channel; create one per channel if you want to fan notifications out.
- Discord rate-limits webhooks (around 30 messages per minute per webhook) — far above what deploy notifications generate, but worth knowing if you funnel many sites into one channel.
- Webhook URLs grant posting rights to anyone who has them. Keep them out of public repos, and delete and recreate the webhook if one leaks.
