![]() ![]() IFTTT supports RSS feed services, which is exactly what YouTube’s feed URL provides. However, I quickly hit my first snag when I realized Bon Appétit categorized their shows into individual playlists (IFTTT doesn’t have an an applet specifically for YouTube playlists.) A few Google searches later, and I was able to find a solution - grabbing the playlist’s feed URL. Now that we’re practicing the dark arts, here’s the proposed flow: New video > IFTTT applet > Discord webhook > Post to Discord channel If you’re not familiar with IFTTT, it’s a service that allows apps and devices to connect via “applets.” Applets detect changes between services, and webhooks… Well, webhooks are magic. This led to me researching notification methods for new episodes, specifically via Discord (since Discord is how we communicate throughout the day.)Īfter some research, I settled on IFTTT and Discord’s built-in webhooks. My fiancée and I itch for new episodes of It’s Alive and Gourmet Makes during the week. You can leave “All mentions allowed” selected since this bot is only posting a reminder.If your home is anything like mine, Brad Leone, Claire Saffitz, and the rest of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen are household names. If you skipped that step, scroll up to the paragraph before I start talking about the Webhook method.ĭiscord markdown does work if you want to **bold** something. To tag a role, insert the (including its brackets) that you got from Discord earlier. Type your message right into the Message field. Select your server from the drop-down menu, and then the channel where you want the message to appear. Once you’ve granted IFTTT permission to use your Discord account and have confirmed the verified IFTTT bot has joined your server, head back to IFTTT’s site. ![]() Make sure the bot’s permissions will allow it to post messages to your server. Next, connect IFTTT to your Discord account and select the server where you want to use it. On IFTTT, search for Discord and select it. Pros: Easier message formatting, no need to create a webhookĬons: Messages will come from the IFTTT bot, no way to change the icon or name ? Select “If This” (the word “Add” should appear in a button to the right). IFTTT recently limited the number of free applets to three per account, but the service is still free. It’s a super handy service that connects apps to other apps and can do things like feed a Twitter hashtag into your server (great if you run events). If you don’t have an IFTTT account, create a new one. You’ll have yours up and running when you reach the end of the post.įirst, head to IFTTT. ![]() This post will walk you through creating a simple daily check-in reminder using IFTTT and Discord. If you want a slightly simpler method, and you don’t care about the icon and username of the bot, you can use the IFTTT + Discord integration. ![]() I didn’t feel like creating a custom botĪll five of these are possible with the IFTTT + webhook integration.I wanted some control over the time the message was posted to Discord.I wanted to customize the icon and username of whatever posted the message.I wanted to create a daily check-in reminder for my writing server to keep everyone motivated: just a quick “Hey, how are you doing?” so the server would have daily activity and the writers felt loved. ![]()
