Discord is a messaging platform organized into servers and channels. The Discord connector lets your Lovable app post messages, list the servers a bot has joined, and read recent channel history through a bot you own. Discord is available as an app + chat connector: one shared connection that works in the chat while you build and in your published apps. With Discord, your app can:
  • Post a text message to a channel the bot can access
  • List the servers the bot has joined
  • Read recent messages in a channel
  • Receive slash-command interactions on a public URL you register for the bot
The bot only sees servers you invite it to, and it can post in a channel only when that channel allows Send Messages. Discord is a good fit when your app needs to notify a server, show server activity, or answer a slash command.

Common use cases and example apps

These examples show what you can build with Discord, each with a prompt to start from.

How to connect Discord

Who can create Discord connections depends on your plan and workspace settings. App + chat connectors are available by default on Free, Pro, and Business plans. On Enterprise plans, they are effectively disabled at first: Who can create connections and clients defaults to No one until an admin changes it in Connectors → Admin settings → App + chat connectors. You can create multiple Discord connections using different bot tokens, which is useful for separating environments (for example, development and production) or running several bots. When the connection is created, you can link it to the projects where you want to use it. Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to it.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting Discord, make sure you have:
The Discord bot HTTP API does not charge for these requests. Discord rate limits still apply, and Discord enforces them, not Lovable.

​
Step 1: Create a bot and copy its token

The token is the credential for one Discord bot. You create the application in the Discord Developer Portal. To create a bot and copy its token:
1

Open the Developer Portal

Sign in at the Discord Developer Portal.
2

Create an application

Click New Application, name it, and create it.
3

Copy the bot token

Open Bot and click Reset Token. Copy the token and store it securely. The form field in Lovable is labeled Bot token, and the hint reads “Bot token from the Discord Developer Portal (Bot page).”
4

Invite the bot to your server

Open OAuth2, then URL Generator. Select the bot scope, choose the permissions the bot needs (include Send Messages if the app will post), and open the generated link to add the bot to your server.
Your bot token functions like a password. Keep it secure and never share it publicly. You’ll need it in the next step.
To receive slash commands, also copy the application’s public key from General Information. That key is not the bot token. Register the app’s public interactions URL in the Developer Portal. Lovable can set that up in the project after the connection exists. See Discord documentation for more: Discord Developer Portal.

​
Step 2: Connect Discord to Lovable

The connection form asks for the bot token from Step 1.
1

Open Discord in Connectors

Open Connectors and select Discord. For the other places to open the catalog from, see Where to find connectors.
2

Add a connection

Click Add connection and select App + chat connector. The form is split into collapsible sections, Details, Configure connection, and Sharing.
3

Name the connection

Under Details, Lovable fills in a name for the connection, which you can change. The name is only used inside Lovable to identify the connection.
4

Configure the connection

Under Configure connection, enter:
  1. Bot token: paste the token from the Developer Portal Bot page.
5

Choose who can use this connection

Under Sharing, the connection is private to you by default and shows a Private label. To share it, click Share with others. Then add workspace members by email, or click Invite entire workspace to make the connection available to everyone in your Lovable workspace.See Who can use connections and clients for more information.
6

Connect

Click Connect. Lovable verifies the bot token against the Discord API before saving the connection.
When connected, anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to Discord (based on configured connection-level access). Your Lovable apps can then post channel messages, list the bot’s servers, and read recent channel history.

​
Limitations

The Discord connector cannot:
  • Create the Discord application or invite the bot for you. Do that in the Developer Portal.
  • Sign each person into their own Discord account. Each connection is one bot, shared across the projects linked to it.
  • Join voice channels or keep a live gateway connection open. The connector covers HTTP calls: messages, server list, channel history, and slash-command HTTP callbacks.

​
Manage your Discord connection

Connections are managed from Connectors: select Discord, then open the connection.
  • Unlink projects to remove Discord access from specific projects while keeping the connection available for others. See Unlink projects from a connection for the steps.
  • Delete the connection to remove it from the workspace entirely. Deleting is permanent. It removes the credentials from all linked projects, and app features that use Discord stop working until a new connection is added. See Delete a connection for the steps and who can delete.
