PostozoHow to connect Discord to Postozo
Paste a few details from Discord and start scheduling. This guide shows where to find each detail, each screen in Postozo, and how to fix common errors.
What you need before you start
- A Discord server where you have the Manage Webhooks permission.
- A webhook for the channel you want to post in.
Discord connects with details you copy from Discord (a key, token or app password). Postozo checks them with Discord before saving and stores them encrypted.
Connect Discord step by step
Step 1. Open Add Channel
Sign in to Postozo. On the Calendar, press Add Channel at the top of the channel list. A window opens with a tile for every network. Find the Discord tile and press it. Each tile also has a How to connect link that opens this guide.
If the tile says Coming soon on this server, the server you use has not added its Discord app keys yet. Ask the person who runs your Postozo server. On postozo.com this is done for you.
Step 2. Fill in your Discord details
A form opens. It asks for 2 details: Channel webhook URL, Name to post as (optional). Under each field, press Where do I find this? to see the exact steps. We copy those steps below.
Channel webhook URL
- In Discord, open Server Settings, then Integrations, then Webhooks.
- Press New Webhook.
- Pick the channel it should post in and give it a name.
- Press Copy Webhook URL and paste it here. You need the Manage Webhooks permission.
Name to post as (optional)
- Optional. The name people see on each message.
- Leave it empty to use the webhook name you set in Discord.
Step 3. Press Connect
Postozo checks the details with Discord before it saves anything. If something is wrong, the form stays open and shows what to fix. Nothing is saved until the check passes. The details are stored encrypted.
Step 4. Check the new channel
Back on the Calendar, the new channel shows in the channel list on the left, with a small Discord badge on its picture. A message at the bottom says it is connected. You can now pick it in the post editor.
Step 5. Set your preferences
Press the 3 dots next to the channel to open its menu. From here you can set Preferences (default settings for every new post on this channel), edit time slots, move the channel to a customer, reconnect, turn it off or delete it.
Common errors and how to fix them
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "That does not look like a Discord webhook URL" | Copy the webhook URL again. It starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/. |
| "Discord did not accept that webhook URL" | The webhook was deleted. Create a new one and connect again. |
| A red message under a field | The value does not have the right format. The message says what it should look like. |
| "We could not reach Discord right now" | Discord did not answer. Wait 1 minute and press Connect again. |
| "Your plan allows N channels" | You reached the channel limit of your plan. Remove a channel you do not use, or upgrade in Billing. |
How to reconnect
If the Discord details stop working (for example you deleted the key or changed the password), Postozo marks the channel with a warning and pauses its posts. Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Reconnect channel. The same form opens. Paste the new details and press Reconnect. The channel keeps its posts, time slots and preferences.
How to disconnect Discord
Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Delete. Postozo removes the channel and deletes its stored details right away. Upcoming and draft posts for that channel are removed too. Posts that are already live stay on Discord. You need the admin or owner role in your workspace to delete a channel.
To cut access on the network side as well, delete the key, token or app password you created there.
Want to pause instead? Choose Disable Channel in the same menu. Its posts wait until you turn it back on.
What you can post on Discord
Max 2000 characters, markdown allowed. Up to 10 files. Follow-up comments are posted as next messages in the channel.

Questions
Can I post to several Discord channels?
Yes. Create a webhook in each channel and connect each one as its own channel.
Can I change the name people see?
Yes. Fill in Name to post as, or rename the webhook in Discord.
Does connecting Discord cost extra?
No. There is no extra charge per network. Each connected account counts as 1 channel toward the channel limit of your plan.
What if the Discord tile says Coming soon on this server?
The server you use has no Discord app keys yet. The server admin adds them in Admin, Networks.
