ArtistGuard

Discord Alerts

Post rich change notifications directly into your Discord server using a webhook.

If your team lives in Discord, this is the fastest setup. ArtistGuard posts formatted messages with the change type, severity, and a link back to your dashboard.

Step 1: get your webhook URL from Discord

  1. Open Discord and go to the channel where you want alerts
  2. Click the gear icon to edit the channel
  3. Go to Integrations > Webhooks
  4. Click New Webhook, name it "ArtistGuard", optionally add an avatar
  5. Click Copy Webhook URL

The URL looks like this:

https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1234567890/ABCDEFabcdef...

Step 2: create a destination

Go to Dashboard > Destinations > New Destination:

  • Type: Discord
  • Name: something you'll recognize, e.g. "Team Discord" or "#critical-alerts"
  • Webhook URL: paste the URL you copied

Click Create Destination.

Step 3: create an alert rule

Go to Dashboard > Alert Rules > New Rule:

  • Destination: pick the Discord destination you just created
  • Min severity: your choice
  • Event types: leave empty for all, or pick specific ones
  • Artist filter: leave empty for all artists

Click Create Rule. Active immediately.

Multiple Discord channels

Want critical alerts in one channel and everything else in another? Create two destinations - one per webhook URL - then create two rules, each pointing to a different destination.

Troubleshooting

No messages?

  • Double-check the full webhook URL was pasted correctly in the destination
  • Confirm webhooks are not disabled in Discord's channel settings
  • Check the rule is toggled Active in the Alert Rules list

Discord rate limits: roughly 30 messages per minute per webhook. Raise your severity threshold or split events across destinations to reduce volume if you hit this.
