Do I need to install a bot on my Discord server?

No. Nodown uses Discord's Incoming Webhooks feature, which posts messages as a webhook integration. No bot permissions or server-level approvals are required.

Can I customize the Discord alert message format?

The message format is standardised across all alerts for consistency. If you need custom payloads, use Nodown's Webhook integration which allows fully custom JSON payloads to any endpoint.

Is there a limit on how many Discord integrations I can create?

The free Starter plan supports up to 3 alert channels total. Pro and Business plans include unlimited integrations, so you can create a separate integration per channel as needed.

Why teams use Nodown with Discord

Route Nodown alerts to any Discord channel using a webhook. Your team sees the failing endpoint, failure reason, and detection timestamp as soon as Nodown confirms an incident across multiple regions.

Works with any Discord server

No bot to install. Nodown uses Discord's native Incoming Webhooks, which any server admin can create in seconds from channel settings.

Route by severity

Create integrations for different channels — #ops-critical for production monitors, #ops-info for secondary ones — and assign monitors accordingly.

Rich alert messages

Alerts include monitor name, URL, failure reason, detection time, and a direct link back to your Nodown dashboard for immediate investigation.

Recovery notifications

Discord recovery messages include the total incident duration so you have a built-in record of every outage without leaving your server.

How to connect Discord to Nodown

Set up takes about 2 minutes. No code required.

1

Create a Discord channel webhook

In your Discord server, open the channel settings for your monitoring channel. Go to Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook. Give it a name like "Nodown" and copy the webhook URL.
2

Add the integration in Nodown

Go to Alerting → Integrations → New Integration → Discord. Paste the Discord webhook URL, name the integration, and click Test to send a sample message to your channel.
3

Assign to your monitors

In each monitor's settings, select the Discord integration under Alert Channels. Monitors can have multiple integrations — for example, both Discord and PagerDuty for critical endpoints.
