Node type: discord_embed · Version: 1 · Category: Communication Send a structured webhook embed. sndbox classifies this node as side-effecting, so tests or automatic runs can require additional confirmation and permission review.

When to use this node

  • Post a structured Discord alert with a title, fields, color, and optional link or image.
  • Make monitoring results easier to scan than a plain webhook message.

Example: Post a structured deployment result

Send a green embed with the deployment status and revision.
Example settings
This shows the important settings, not a complete exported node. Connection and profile IDs are illustrative; select the real resource in the inspector.
  1. Use a decimal color value and short field names.
  2. Map only fields suitable for the destination channel.
  3. Test rendering with realistic lengths.

Configuration

The webhook URL is resolved inside the Rust host and never enters workflow data or logs.

Workflow JSON

The editor stores this node with the following implemented default configuration:
Default node configuration
Values may be entered literally or mapped from an earlier compatible output when the inspector exposes a mapping control. See Variables and data mapping.

Inputs

This node has no typed ports in this direction.

Outputs

Execution behavior

  • description supplies the required embed content; content can add surrounding plain text.
  • The webhook credential remains in the vault and sending requires communication permission.
  • The editor catalogue declares result (any) for mapping. The execution inspector can contain additional evidence fields; inspect a real result before selecting nested paths from object or any outputs.

Common issues

  • Discord enforces per-field and total embed limits.
  • Remote image URLs disclose a fetch to their host and may fail if not publicly accessible.

Where it can run

  • Desktop local runner
  • Paired self-hosted runner
  • Hosted runner

Test and inspect

Use Test node in the editor to preview this step with the current configuration. A full run records resolved inputs, outputs, logs, duration, and any artifacts in the execution inspector. Side-effecting or destructive nodes can require an additional confirmation or approved workflow permission.
