Tips

Using markdown

Some fields support markdown syntax.

- uses: sarisia/actions-status-discord@v1
  with:
    webhook: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
    nodetail: true
    title: "New version of `software` is ready!"
    description: |
      Version `${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}`
      Click [here](${{ github.event.release.html_url }}) to download!
    color: 0xff91a4

Mention to user/role

Since @mention inside the embed does not generate ping to users, you can use content input to mention users/roles:

- uses: sarisia/actions-status-discord@v1
  if: always()
  with:
    webhook: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
    content: "Hey <@316911818725392384>"

See the Discord Developer Docs for available formats.

Trigger multiple webhooks

You can set multiple webhooks separated with EOL (line break, \n) to Secrets.

For example, set Secrets to:

https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/...
https://media.guilded.gg/webhooks/...
https://this-is-invalid-webhook-endpoint.invalid/...

will trigger these 3 webhooks simultaneously.

If some of these webhooks are failed, other deliveries will NOT be cancelled.

If the option nofail is set to false and any of one fail, the action will set workflow status to Failure.

Full payload control

You can modify payload before sending to Discord:

- uses: sarisia/actions-status-discord@v1
  if: always()
  id: webhook # set id to reference output payload later
  with:
    ack_no_webhook: true # set this to suppress warning
    # you can omit webhook input (or DISCORD_WEBHOOK environment variable)
  
- run: npm install axios
- uses: actions/github-script@v7
  env:
    WEBHOOK_PAYLOAD: ${{ steps.webhook.outputs.payload }}
    WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
  with:
    script: |
      const axios = require("axios")

      const { WEBHOOK_PAYLOAD, WEBHOOK_URL } = process.env

      const payload = JSON.parse(WEBHOOK_PAYLOAD)

      // modify payload as you like
      delete payload.embeds[0].color

      // send to Discord
      axios.post(WEBHOOK_URL, payload)

See actions/github-script docs
