Discord is a communication platform with text, voice, and video chat abilities, multiple channels, and guild functionality.

Follow the steps below to add a Torq bot to your Discord channels. This can act as both a trigger and a step integration.

Third, go back into Discord to generate an authorization URL

🗒️ Note
Discord's rate limit is 5 requests per second.

Find the user-ID or channel-ID you want to send your message to.
1. User-ID: Within the server, right-click the username and click Copy ID.
  Within Torq, run either the Search guild members or List guild members steps to find your user.
2. Channel-ID: Within the server, right-click a message in the channel. This will get you both the channel and the message ID - the channel ID is the first string of numbers before the dash.
  Within Torq, run either the Get channel or the List guild channels step.
Select either User or Channel in the Recipient field.
Write a clear and concise question within the Question field.
Write your list of possible responses in the Responses field. The responses must be separated by a comma, with no space in between each response. There can be a space within the text of an individual response.
Put your Channel or User ID in the correct field.
You can optionally add either Default response text or an automatic Timeout by going to the manage parameters icon.
The message response will be sent back to Torq immediately upon a response being selected.

These are the premade steps for Discord. Don't see the step you need? No problem; you can easily create custom steps.
