Recovering Discord new forum or thread messages instantaneously

Hi everybody,

Is there any way to recover new forum or thread messages from Discord in Make instantaneously ?
I know there is a watch channel messages module, but it triggers only when there a new message in a channel, not if there is a new message in a thread in a channel. And it does not detect any posts or messages in posts in Discord forums.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Make community!

A. Instant Method

Yes it is possible, but not with Make.

With Discord Gateway Events, which basically functions similarly to a Webhook, but is actually a WebSocket.

A WebSocket means you need a server that remains connected 24/7 to “listen” to WebSocket push events.

What Make uses - webhooks, do not function this way. Instead Webhooks rely on incoming HTTP requests, which Discord do not support.

B. Polling Method

Yes polling method is possible with Make.

The workaround is to poll on a schedule for changes, and you have to store the current timestamp and/or number of messages in each thread so that you know if something is created in the future.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
