Setting Up Discord Notifications

Trip Mate allows you to receive notifications directly in your Discord server using webhooks. Follow this guide to create and connect a webhook.

Discord Notfication

Prerequisites

  • A Discord account
  • A Discord server (if you don’t have one, creating one is free)

Creating a Discord Server (If Needed)

If you don’t already have a Discord server, follow these steps:

  1. Open Discord on your browser or app.
  2. Click on the big “+” icon on the left sidebar.
  3. Select Create My Own or choose from the available templates.
  4. Follow the setup instructions and create your server.

Creating a Webhook in Discord

Once you have a server, follow these steps to create a webhook:

  1. Open Discord and navigate to the channel where you want to receive notifications.
  2. Click on the channel name and select Edit Channel.
  3. Select the Integrations tab.
  4. Click Create Webhook (or, if webhooks already exist, select View Webhooks and then New Webhook).
  5. Enter a name for the webhook bot (e.g., "Trip Mate Alerts").
  6. (Optional) Upload an avatar for the webhook.
  7. Copy the Webhook URL from the WEBHOOK URL field.
  8. Click Save Changes.

Connecting the Webhook to Trip Mate

  1. Open Trip Mate and navigate to Settings > Notifications.
  2. Toggle Discord Notifications to enable them.
  3. Paste the copied Webhook URL into the Discord Webhook URL field.
  4. Click Test to ensure the webhook is working.

Managing Your Webhook

  • To disable notifications, toggle off Discord notifications in Trip Mate settings.
  • To delete or edit the webhook, go back to Integrations in Discord and modify or remove the webhook as needed.

Troubleshooting

If notifications aren’t appearing in your Discord channel:

  • Double-check that the correct Webhook URL was copied and pasted.
  • Ensure the webhook has permission to send messages to the channel.
  • Try deleting and recreating the webhook, then updating it in Trip Mate.

Once everything is set up, you will receive real-time notifications in Discord for your selected trip alerts!
