Discord integration

Post rich embeds to any Discord channel via an incoming webhook.

Last updated April 21, 2026

The Discord integration uses an incoming webhook ā€” no bot, no app installation. Each webhook posts to a single channel, so create one integration per channel you want to alert.

Creating the Discord webhook

  1. In Discord, open Server Settings ā†’ Integrations ā†’ Webhooks.
  2. Click New Webhook, name it (e.g. StatusOwl), and pick the target channel.
  3. Click Copy Webhook URL. It starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/.

Connecting it to StatusOwl

  1. Go to Integrations ā†’ Add Integration and choose Discord.
  2. Paste the webhook URL.
  3. Enter the channel name (display-only, used in the UI to identify the integration).
  4. Select which events to fire on.
  5. Click Save, then Send Test to confirm delivery.

Alert message format

StatusOwl posts a color-coded embed: red for down, green for recovery, amber for maintenance. The embed includes the monitor name, current status, error details (when applicable), and a direct link to the incident in the dashboard.
