Discord

Webhooks are a low-effort way to post messages to channels in Discord. They do not require a bot user or authentication to use.

The webhook provided by discord is a single URL which contains the webhook_id and the webhook_token. The URL follows the following pattern.

https://discord.com/api/webhooks/<webhook_id>/<webhook_token>

The discord plugin posts build status messages to discord channel. The below pipeline configuration demonstrates simple usage:

- name: discord notification
  image: appleboy/drone-discord
  settings:
    webhook_id: xxxxxxxxxx
    webhook_token: xxxxxxxxxx

Example configuration with TTS (text-to-speech) message:

  - name: discord notification
    image: appleboy/drone-discord
    settings:
      webhook_id: xxxxxxxxxx
      webhook_token: xxxxxxxxxx
+     tts: true
      message: "Testing from drone image"

Example configuration with override the default username of the webhook:

  - name: discord notification
    image: appleboy/drone-discord
    settings:
      webhook_id: xxxxxxxxxx
      webhook_token: xxxxxxxxxx
+     username: appleboy
      message: "Testing from drone image"

Example configuration with override the default avatar of the webhook:

  - name: discord notification
    image: appleboy/drone-discord
    settings:
      webhook_id: xxxxxxxxxx
      webhook_token: xxxxxxxxxx
+     avatar_url: http://exampple.com/appleboy.png
      message: "Testing from drone image"

Example configuration with a custom message template:

  - name: discord notification
    image: appleboy/drone-discord
    settings:
      webhook_id: xxxxxxxxxx
      webhook_token: xxxxxxxxxx
+     message: >
+       {{#success build.status}}
+         build {{build.number}} succeeded. Good job.
+       {{else}}
+         build {{build.number}} failed. Fix me please.
+       {{/success}}

Example configuration using credentials from secrets:

  - name: discord notification
    image: appleboy/drone-discord
    settings:
      webhook_id:
        from_secret: discord_webhook_id
      webhook_token:
        from_secret: discord_webhook_token
      message: "Testing from drone image"
