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. 😎 In this article, we’ll make use of Integromat to connect Discord to a form. Creating our Integromat account We’d open Integromat and proceed to sign up/in. homepage Click on the button Create a new scenario With the huge “ ”, we can start adding an application and create connections with other applications. + Configuring a webhook We’ll set up a webhook URL that we can send form data to and trigger appropriate reactions So, we’d click the big “ ” button and select the application + Webhooks (Never mind my sketches, you deserve a better artist ) 😭 Select then select and give the custom webhook a name. We’d get a webhook URL that we will keep for later. Custom webhook Add We’d add a new module We’d select the 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: Post a Message We’d create a simple HTML form next to send data to the webhook URL by adding the URL to the attribute. (This is just a demo form, you can choose how to send data and how your application should react to each form submission): action <!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 open the web page and send some data to access the placeholders. Run once, We now have access to our form response placeholder. We’d head over to our scenario, click on the Discord module edit the content. Then activate the scenario: Submit the form again and we can see our response Conclusion I hope you find this article helpful in creating an automated workflow between some applications you regularly use. Though Integromat free plan has some limitations, it can pretty much satisfy some of your automation needs.
