Question 1

What is a Discord webhook?

Accepted Answer

A webhook is a URL that allows external applications to post messages to a Discord channel without a bot account. It's the simplest way to send automated messages, notifications, or alerts to a Discord channel.

Question 2

How do I create a Discord webhook URL?

Accepted Answer

Open the channel in Discord → Edit Channel → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook. Give it a name and click 'Copy Webhook URL'. Paste that URL into this tool.

Question 3

What are the Discord embed character limits?

Accepted Answer

Title: 256 characters. Description: 4096. Field name: 256. Field value: 1024. Footer text: 2048. Author name: 256. Up to 25 fields per embed. Total embed size capped at 6000 characters.

Question 4

Why is my webhook message failing to send?

Accepted Answer

Common causes: the webhook URL was deleted or revoked, the channel no longer exists, the embed exceeds character limits, or the request is rate-limited. Check the browser console for the exact error code.

Question 5

Can I send images with a Discord webhook?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add a direct image URL to the embed's image or thumbnail field. The image must be publicly accessible (Discord will fetch it server-side). Attachments/file uploads are not supported through this tool.
