• Choose the event as ‘New Record’.

Once the trigger is configured, you can proceed to map the data from Airtable to your Discord message. In the next step of your Pabbly Connect workflow, select Discord as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’.

• Connect your Discord account by providing the webhook URL from your Discord server settings.
• Map the fields from Airtable to the Discord message, including project title, description, due date, and assigned member.
• Ensure that all relevant information is included in the message format.

For example, you can format the message to say: ‘Hello everyone, we have got a new project: {Project Title}. Description: {Description}. Due date: {Due Date}. Assigned to: {Assigned Member}.’ This mapping allows dynamic data to be sent directly to your Discord channel whenever a new record is added in Airtable.

After mapping the data, it’s time to test your integration. In the Pabbly Connect interface, you can send a test request to see if the message is successfully sent to your Discord channel. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to execute the test.

If the integration is successful, you will see a confirmation message in Pabbly Connect indicating that the test was successful. Then, check your Discord channel to see if the message appears as expected. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the message formatted with the data from your Airtable record.

Once your test is successful, your integration is ready to go. You can finalize your workflow by clicking on the ‘Turn On’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will enable the automation, so every time a new row is added to your Airtable table, a message will automatically be sent to your specified Discord channel.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, monitor the first few messages sent to Discord. If you encounter any issues, revisit the mapping step to ensure all fields are correctly configured.
