To send RSS feeds to Discord automatically, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Log in to your account on Pabbly Connect to access the dashboard. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one easily and receive 100 free automation tasks every month.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be the event that starts your automation process. Select the RSS feature provided by Pabbly in the ‘Choose App’ field.

• Choose ‘New Item in Feed’ as the trigger event.
• Paste the RSS feed URL from your chosen website (e.g., NDTV sports RSS feed).
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the latest feed details.

After completing these steps, Pabbly Connect will fetch the most recent RSS feed item. This setup ensures that any new posts published on the website will trigger the automation.

3. Setting Up Discord Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the action that will send the RSS feed to your Discord channel using Pabbly Connect. In the action step, search for Discord and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message with HTML’. This allows formatted messages to be sent to your Discord channel.

To connect Discord, you will need a webhook URL. Follow these steps to create a webhook:

• Go to your Discord server and click on the channel settings.
• Select ‘Integrations’, then ‘Webhooks’.
• Create a new webhook, give it a name, and copy the webhook URL.

Paste this webhook URL into Pabbly Connect where prompted. You can also customize the message that will accompany the RSS feed link when it is sent to Discord.

4. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

To finalize your integration using Pabbly Connect, you need to configure the message that will be sent to your Discord channel. You can personalize the message to your audience, such as ‘Hi Family, we have just published a new RSS feed for you!’.

After setting up the message, link the RSS feed URL from the previous step into the message. This way, your audience can click directly on the feed link to view the content.

Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. If set up correctly, you should see the message appear in your Discord channel, confirming that the automation works as intended.
