2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow builder of Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button to begin. You will select ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as your trigger application because you want your Discord bot to send automated messages daily. Choose ‘Schedule Workflow’ as the event and click on ‘Connect’.

• Select how often you want the workflow to run.
• Set the time for the messages to be sent, for example, 1:00 PM.
• Click ‘Save’ to schedule your workflow.

After saving, your workflow is now set to run every day at the specified time. This sets the foundation for your Discord bot to send messages automatically.

3. Generating Messages Using Gemini

Next, you need to generate the content that your Discord bot will send. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Gemini’ to select Google AI Studio. Choose ‘Generate Content’ as the event and click on ‘Connect’.

If you haven’t connected Gemini to Pabbly Connect before, you’ll need to create a new connection. This requires an API key from your Google AI Studio. To obtain this, navigate to the ‘Get API Key’ section in Google AI Studio, create a key, and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

• Enter your prompt for generating the message.
• Select the model, such as Gemini 2.5 Flash.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

After this, you will see the generated message that will be sent to your Discord channel.

4. Sending Messages to Discord

Now it’s time to send the generated message to your Discord channel. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Discord’. Select it and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the event. Click on ‘Connect’ to set up the integration.

You will need the webhook URL from your Discord server. Go to your Discord server settings, find ‘Integrations’, then ‘Webhooks’, and create a new webhook. Copy the URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Map the generated message from Gemini to the message field in Discord. Set the bot name and icon if desired. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

Once you receive a positive response, your message will be posted in the specified Discord channel automatically at the scheduled time.

5. Finalizing the Automation

With everything set up, your Discord bot is now ready to send messages automatically every day at the specified time. This entire process runs in the background, and you don’t need to manually trigger anything after the initial setup in Pabbly Connect.

To recap, you have successfully created a Discord bot using Pabbly Connect that sends automated messages by scheduling a workflow, generating content with Gemini, and sending it to Discord. This automation can save you time and keep your Discord channel active with fresh content.
