I’ve been using Zapier to link AirTable and Discord, posting to channels on my server when I’ve edited a record. But a user asked me to post to an announcements channel on Discord, which carries additional features. But announcement channels do not show up as available in Zapier.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
Hey Dom,
It’s a bit of a stab in the dark but I googled the discord API and it mentions announcements (I don’t use discord so not 100% sure this is what you’re referring to).
You should be able to make an API call in zapier to trigger the announcement.
Sorry if I’m way off the mark!
Thanks. That led to me the web hooks intregation which gave me most of what I want, even if it doesn’t look pretty. (It posts the information as a text file attached.) I’m going to have to dig deeper to figure out how to improve the posts. Thanks.
PS - try Integromat (KEAP) - you won’t regret it… I moved everything from Zapier and have never found anything I can’t do that I could in Zapier… cheaper & the UI is much more intuitive!
I’m trying it, but I can’t seem to make it do exactly what Zapier did for this particular case. I’m getting the output in the format I want, but it seems to require more work than Zapier to get narrow down the results. I’m trying to get it to give me only the latest changed record in a view with the exact content in a particular field (i.e. field: “Status” and content: “Posted”). Zapier did this easily, but Integromat/Make doesn’t, at least not obviously to me. Still working at it.
What if the action after you searching for the result had a filter action in between?
Rather than trying to filter with the module itself, use the filter action sits between the modules. Sure if this helps at all?
