Automated Workflows: Sending your form response to Discord

If you want to establish some nice automated integration between two or more applications, you can make use of low-code tools like Zapier or Integromat. These tools have over 1000 apps available for integration.

You can link up multiple applications and create a smooth automation workflow.

  • Wed select the Post a Message to discord, add a new connection with any text in the content and approve Integromat permissions to our Discord server. Then we should see the bot in our server:

  • Wed create a simple HTML form next to send data to the webhook URL by adding the URL to the action attribute. (This is just a demo form, you can choose how to send data and how your application should react to each form submission):
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>    <title>Form</title></head><body>    <form method="post" action="https://hook.integromat.com/hxmcktv6o41acj46lcuw6vio7iqhyisg">        <label for="firstname">First name</label>        <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname">        <br />        <br />        <label for="message">Message</label>        <br />        <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>        <button type="submit">Submit</button>    </form></body></html>

  • Open your Integromat scenario, click on Run once, open the web page and send some data to access the placeholders.

  • We now have access to our form response placeholder. Wed head over to our scenario, click on the Discord module edit the content. Then activate the scenario:
