Connect Discord to WordPress

A WordPress blog and a Discord community work well together: new posts bring members to the site, and members are the first readers. Connect them so new posts are announced in Discord the moment they go live.

Build your own

Build any Discord and WordPress automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Discord and WordPress in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

When a WordPress post with the category Updates is published, have AI write a 3-bullet summary and post it with the link in Discord #updates; skip other categories.

Every Friday, take the 3 Discord #showcase messages with the most reactions and create a WordPress draft post featuring them.

Use cases

Why people connect Discord and WordPress

How the two apps work together

  • The automation checks WordPress for new posts or comments through its REST API every few minutes.
  • New items are posted to a Discord channel through a webhook or bot.
  • A Discord bot reads channels on a schedule, and the script can create WordPress drafts from selected messages.

  • New posts announced to the community

    Bloggers and publishers post the title, excerpt and link to Discord when a WordPress post is published.

  • Community content into the blog

    Community managers turn top Discord discussions into WordPress draft posts for an editor to review.

  • Comment alerts for site owners

    Site owners get a Discord message for new WordPress comments waiting for moderation.

  • Patch notes for game communities

    Game studios publish patch notes on WordPress and post a summary in their Discord update channel.

More apps

Discord, WordPress and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

New posts to Discord and X

When a WordPress post is published, announce it in Discord #blog and post the title and link on X.

New posts to Discord and email list

When I publish a WordPress post, share it in Discord #news and create a Mailchimp campaign draft with the excerpt.

Content log for published posts

When a WordPress post is published, add it to my Content sheet and post it in Discord #content.

Setup

Connect Discord and WordPress once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Discord

Community chat

  1. At discord.com/developers/applications, create a new application, open Bot and choose Reset Token. Copy the token, since Discord only shows it once.
  2. On the Bot page, turn on the privileged intents your automations need, such as Message Content to read messages or Server Members to list members.
  3. Under OAuth2, use the URL Generator with the bot scope and the permissions you need, such as Send Messages or Manage Messages, then open the URL to add the bot to your server.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the bot token. It is sent as Bot <token>.

WordPress

CMS

  1. In wp-admin, go to Users and open your profile, or the profile of the user the automation should act as.
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords, type a name such as ClickRuntime, and choose Add New Application Password.
  3. Copy the generated password straight away, along with the WordPress username it belongs to.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save the username and Application Password as a secret on Connections & secrets, together with your site address.

FAQ

Questions about connecting Discord and WordPress

Will posts be published without my review?
Only if you want that. Posts can be saved as drafts in WordPress for you to check, with the Discord announcement sent once you publish.
How does it connect to WordPress?
With a WordPress application password for your user, saved as a secret in your ClickRuntime dashboard. You create it in your WordPress profile and can revoke it there.
What does the Discord announcement include?
The post title, a short excerpt and the link, posted to the channel you choose through a channel webhook.
Does it work with any WordPress site?
It works with self-hosted WordPress and with WordPress.com plans that allow application passwords.
What does it need from WordPress?
A WordPress site with the REST API on and an application password for a user who can read or create posts. The key is stored in the ClickRuntime dashboard.
Does it work with WordPress.com sites?
Self-hosted WordPress works through the REST API. WordPress.com sites need a plan that allows API access with your connection.
Can it post scheduled posts when they go live?
Yes. The script checks for posts with status publish, so scheduled posts are announced once they are published.
