The Discord Integration allows you to post messages to Discord, triggered by alert events within your IoT in a Box account.

  4. Fill out the webhook settings and copy the Webhook Url.

  5. Within IoT in a Box, go to Integrations and begin adding a new Discord integration.

  6. Fill in the Url setting with the Webhook Url created on discord.

    The Discord Username and Avatar Image Url options are optional fields which you can customize or leave as-is.

  7. After saving the Integration, you will see it shown in your list of integrations.

  • You can then edit the integration to make any changes needed.
  • You can also toggle the Integration on/off at any time from here as well. Disabling the integration will stop new data from being sent to the webhook.

Verifying things are working​

You can verify the integration is working by waiting for a new IoT in a Box event (or manually triggering on the device or within the dashboard). As soon as a new event occurs, the event data will be posted to Discord.
