## Announcement Copy
**Molecule AI Discord adapter is live — PR #656 merged.**
Your Molecule AI workspace can now connect to Discord. Here's what shipped:
**Send messages to Discord**
→ Configure a Discord Incoming Webhook (no bot token needed for outbound)
→ Your workspace agent sends messages to any Discord channel via webhook
→ 2000-character chunking handled automatically
**Receive slash commands from Discord**
→ Register your Discord app's Interactions endpoint with Molecule AI
→ Slash commands like `/ask what's the status?` route directly to your workspace agent
→ Works in servers and DMs — username and channel are passed through as metadata
**Security:** Webhook tokens are never logged — regression-tested in PR #659.
**Setup:** One webhook URL. Three lines of config. No separate bot account required for outbound.

## Short Version (for Reddit / dev.to title)
> Molecule AI workspaces can now connect to Discord — send messages and receive slash commands via a webhook. No bot token needed for outbound. PR #656 merged.
---
## Dev.to Post Body
Molecule AI workspaces now ship with a Discord adapter — giving your AI agents a presence in Discord servers.
**What you can do:**
- Send messages to any Discord channel from your workspace agent (webhook-based, no bot token needed for outbound)
- Receive slash commands — `/ask`, `/help`, `/status` — and route them to your workspace agent
- Works in servers and DMs
- 2000-character message chunking handled automatically
- Webhook tokens are never logged (security fix in PR #659)
**Configuration:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/channels \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"channel_type": "discord",
"config": {
"webhook_url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN"
}
}'
```
Or connect via the Canvas UI — Channels tab → + Connect → Discord.
**Architecture:**
- Outbound: Discord Incoming Webhooks (HTTP POST, no long-polling)
- Inbound: Discord Interactions endpoint (slash commands and message components)
- No separate bot token required for outbound-only setups

## Discord Message (for posting in Molecule AI's own Discord server)
**Molecule AI Discord Adapter is live! 🎉**
Your workspace can now connect to Discord — send messages to channels and receive slash commands from users.
**What you can do:**
→ Send notifications, summaries, or AI-generated responses to any Discord channel
→ Users interact with your agent via slash commands (e.g. `/ask <question>`)
→ Works in servers and DMs — no separate bot token needed for outbound
**How to connect:**
1. Create a Discord webhook (Channel → Integrations → Webhooks)
2. Add it to your workspace: Channels tab → + Connect → Discord
3. Done — your agent can now send to that channel
For slash commands inbound, point your Discord app's Interactions URL at `POST /webhooks/discord` on your platform.
