Set up Discord alerts.

Pingvella posts to Discord through a webhook: a private web address that lets a message be posted to one channel. You create it in Discord, then paste it into Pingvella.

1. Create a webhook

You need the Manage Webhooks permission on the server.

1. In Discord, hover over the channel that should receive alerts and choose Edit Channel (the cog).
2. Open Integrations, then Webhooks, then choose New Webhook.
3. Give it a name (for example Pingvella). You can also choose a different channel for it here.

2. Copy the webhook URL

1. Open the new webhook and choose Copy Webhook URL.
2. It starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/. Keep it secret: anyone with it can post to that channel.
3. Choose Save Changes.

A webhook posts to one channel. To alert more than one, create a webhook for each and add each to Pingvella as its own destination.

3. Add it to Pingvella

1. On the Integrations page, choose Add Discord.
2. Give the destination a name, paste the Webhook URL, then save.
3. Use Test on the destination. Pingvella posts a test alert to the channel; if you see it, you are done.
