Discord

Pick a server and channel

Use the channel where your team should see submissions. If you’d like to try the integration first without notifying anyone, create a private test server:

1. In Discord, click the + button at the bottom of the server list on the left.
2. Choose Create My Own, then For me and my friends.
3. Name it something obvious, such as Formtorch Test, and click Create.
4. Create a text channel, such as #form-submissions.

You can keep this server private. There’s no need to invite anyone.

Create a webhook in Discord

1. Click the server name at the top left, then Server Settings → Integrations.

   

2. Click Webhooks, then New Webhook. Discord creates one with a random name.

3. Click the new webhook to expand it. Give it a name (for example, Formtorch: Contact form) and pick the channel submissions should go to. The name is shown as the destination’s label in Formtorch.

4. Click Save Changes if Discord shows it, then click Copy Webhook URL.

The URL looks like https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123456789012345678/abcd....

Add the URL to your form in Formtorch

1. Open the form in the dashboard  and go to Integrations.

2. On the Discord card, click Add Destination, then Add Destination again in the panel that opens.

   

3. Paste the webhook URL. The label is optional; it defaults to the webhook’s name in Discord. Click Add Destination.

   

Formtorch checks the URL with Discord before saving it, so a mistyped or deleted webhook is caught right away. Once saved, the URL is stored encrypted and never shown again: the panel lists the destination by its webhook name only.

Send a test message

In the Discord panel, click the Send test message icon next to the destination.

Within a few seconds, a message titled Test message: your form name appears in your channel, with sample name, email, and message fields and a footer that reads Formtorch · test message.

If it arrives, the connection works.

Send one real submission

The test message checks the connection to Discord. A real submission checks the whole path: your form, Formtorch, and the post in your channel.

Submit your form once from your site, like a visitor would. If you don’t have a page handy, save this as an HTML file, replace YOUR_FORM_ID with your form’s ID, and open it in a browser:

<form action="https://formtorch.com/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input name="name" placeholder="Name" />
  <input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Fill it in with something like:

• Name: Test Visitor

• Email: test@example.com

• Message:

  Testing the Formtorch Discord integration.
  @everyone @here
  [Account verification](https://example.com)

A message titled New submission: your form name appears in your channel with one field each for name, email, and message. Two things to look for:

• @everyone and @here appear as plain text and don’t notify anyone.
• The link is shown as its literal text, [Account verification](https://example.com), rather than as a clickable link with a disguised label.

In Formtorch, open the form’s Submissions tab and hover over (or click) the Sent badge in the submission’s Delivery column. The Delivery history popover lists an Original · Discord · Delivered entry. You can also open the submission and check Integrations on its Metadata tab, which shows the destination’s name and any error.
