Get Discord Alerts from Smart Actions

How Discord Webhooks Work

Discord supports incoming webhooks natively — no bot, no OAuth, no library needed. You post JSON to a URL and a message appears in your channel.

Smart Actions sends a POST request to any webhook URL when a rule fires, so Discord works out of the box.

Step 1: Create a Discord Webhook

Open your Discord server → right-click the channel → Edit Channel
Go to Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook
Name it (e.g. "LogIt Alerts"), copy the URL

The URL looks like:

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

Step 2: Log Events into LogIt

await logit.now("errors", {
  event: "Application error",
  description: err.message,
  icon: "🚨",
  notify: false,
  tags: { severity: "high" },
  metadata: { stack: err.stack },
});

Step 3: Create the Smart Action

Field	Value
Name	High-severity error → Discord
Channel	errors
Event name	Application error
Threshold	5
Window	5 minutes
Cooldown	15 minutes
Action	Webhook
URL	Your Discord webhook URL

LogIt will POST to Discord and the message will appear in your channel within seconds of the threshold being crossed.

What the Discord Message Looks Like

{
  "content": "🔔 **Smart Action triggered**: High-severity error → Discord\n5+ Application error events in the last 5 minutes"
}

Tips

Create one Discord webhook per alert channel (errors, payments, signups) to route alerts into the right Discord room.
Set a 15-minute cooldown so a cascade failure doesn't flood your Discord server.
Discord has a rate limit of ~30 messages/minute per webhook — the cooldown handles this naturally.
