Simple Github -> Discord webhook

Github Webhook Tutorial.md

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates

2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

1. Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

2. Select Add Webhook

3. Paste in the webhook url and append /github to the end. Select "Send me everything", set the type to application/json, and then Add Webhook

4. Test it by updating something or starring the repository! If it works, you're all set!

Got it. But damn Discord should say something about this, because it let you copy the webhook url and don't say a word about /github. I also get that is some GitHub stuffs, but is not clear to add /github to the discord webhook at all. El mié., 17 de julio de 2024 11:23 a. m., Robin Singh < ***@***.***> escribió:

***@***.**** commented on this gist. ------------------------------ any idea why is necesary to add /github at the end?? It work, but... Because it helps GitHub to map to a specific endpoint in case of discord. You can have multiple endpoint on a single domain. You can achieve this by creating your own endpoints. E.g. you can create a simple node.js server which has two endpoints /a and /b that do different tasks. - Host your node js server on service like render. It will provide you with a domain. - Create two different webhooks in GitHub. - For each webhook, keep the domain name same but add different endpoints for different GitHub event. Now you have two webhooks which are mapped to two different GitHub events, but with a single domain name. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <https://gist.github.com/jagrosh/5b1761213e33fc5b54ec7f6379034a22#gistcomment-5124477> or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/BJKZUHUKO7EBA6STJE66LMLZM2D5XBFKMF2HI4TJMJ2XIZLTSKBKK5TBNR2WLJDUOJ2WLJDOMFWWLO3UNBZGKYLEL5YGC4TUNFRWS4DBNZ2F6YLDORUXM2LUPGBKK5TBNR2WLJDHNFZXJJDOMFWWLK3UNBZGKYLEL52HS4DFVRZXKYTKMVRXIX3UPFYGLK2HNFZXIQ3PNVWWK3TUUZ2G64DJMNZZDAVEOR4XAZNEM5UXG5FFOZQWY5LFVA2DANRWGA3TEOFHORZGSZ3HMVZKMY3SMVQXIZI> .

is it possible to ping/mention/notify everyone or certain people using the webhook?

Hi. Have you found a way to achieve this?

You can, but not natively. You can either use a bot that can automatically respond with a ping or (a bit trickier) use a bot and a private channel for the Girhub-webhook, so that GitHub sends the message to your private Discord channel and the bot "copies" this message and adds mentions. -- VG Luca (Von meinem Handy gesendet) KobeW50 ***@***.***> schrieb am Do., 8.

Thank you. Do you know of any public bots that can do either of these? (I only tried YAGPDB, but even custom commands doesn't work since it doesn't listen for webhooks)

(Also, a few minutes ago someone shared this with me. It just seems like a bit of a pain to set up)

I ended up using this Github Actions: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/actions-status-discord

I would suggest Sapphire with the new Sticky Message feature for "reply with ping".
It could also be possible to use the Automod feature but I don't know if bot-messages (what a webhook message is) are recognized.
I could make you a custom bot that does this easily if you want (@thelukez)

Thank you for the advice and the offer @The-LukeZ 🙏

I opted to try @mrgoonie 's suggestion, and it is working flawlessly. Thank you

Hello I have a problem I cant see the description when i commit to main

Hello I have a problem I cant see the description when i commit to main

Descriptions won't show up. I also noticed this.

I ended up using this Github Actions: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/actions-status-discord

Will I be able to show the entire commit message using this?

What I get on discord:

It truncates a large portion of my commit messages. This is how I show progress on my project(s).

It totally depends on you, grab all commit messages in your action steps and pass them to this action in "description" param

I don't need that, just want the PR title, so this is what I got:

Got it working:

1. delete hook
2. create new hook
3. add /github at the end,
4. select content type to application/json

thx

FYI - If wanting to send GitHub messages to a Discord forum thread, add "/github?thread_id=[thread number here from thread URL]"

Ty for this. Anyone know how to filter pull requests only? It would be ideal to have pull request opened and closed only to avoid clutter.

Go here and only select the Pull requests.

How do I have this webhook pull posts from another discord server and post into mine? is that even possible?

Well, you would have to have a Discord bot that forwards every message in a channel to another server.

That was it, don't know how I missed it. Thanks

It works for me, thanks

Very helpful, thank you. In my case I only needed it for issue ticket integration, so I selected "Let me select individual events" 👍🏼

Works perfectly!

This is perfect for not needing to update my partners each time I make changes. Thank you for this! 🎉
