How to get a Discord webhook URL

A Discord webhook is a URL that lets an app post messages straight into one of your server’s channels. No bot required, and it takes less than a minute to set up. Watch the short walkthrough below, or follow the written steps.

Create a webhook in five steps

  1. In Discord, open Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks.
  2. Click New Webhook and choose the channel it should post to.
  3. Optionally give it a name (like StreamDay) and an avatar.
  4. Click Copy Webhook URL.
  5. Paste it into StreamDay (or your app) and connect.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Discord webhook?
A webhook is a URL that lets an external app post messages into one specific channel in your Discord server, without a bot or bot token. You create it in that server's settings and give the URL to whatever app you want posting there.
Do I need to be a server admin?
You need the "Manage Webhooks" permission, which server owners and admins have by default. If you don’t see Integrations → Webhooks in your Server Settings, ask the server owner to create the webhook or grant you the permission.
Is it safe to share a webhook URL?
Treat it like a password: anyone who has the URL can post to that one channel, but nothing else. They can’t read messages, see other channels, or change your server. Only paste it into apps you trust, and if it ever leaks, just delete or regenerate the webhook in Discord.
Can I use this with StreamDay?
Yes. Paste the webhook into StreamDay and it automatically posts a weekly summary of your upcoming streams plus per-stream go-live reminders, each shown in every member’s own local timezone.

StreamDay turns your stream schedule into automatic Discord posts: a weekly summary and go-live reminders, each in every member’s own timezone. See how it works →
