Discord Connector

Who can do this: Owners, Admins, and Editors can add and manage project connectors. See Roles and Permissions for details.

Connect your Discord servers and build tools for your community. Server dashboards, member directories, announcement composers, and management interfaces that make community operations visual.

What you can do

Access your server data:

• View servers you manage with member counts and settings
• Browse member lists with roles and join dates
• Read channel structures and permissions
• See connected accounts and integrations

Build community tools:

• Server overview dashboards across multiple communities
• Searchable member directories with role filters
• Announcement composers with rich embed previews
• Event schedulers and status broadcasters

Manage your community:

• Post formatted announcements to channels
• Create and manage server events
• Send rich embeds with images, fields, and colors
• Build admin panels for community operations

Note: Available features depend on your Discord permissions and server roles. Some actions require server administrator access.

How to connect

Discord uses a single connection through the connector. Once connected, Sticklight can access servers where you have appropriate permissions.

Connect the connector

You can connect from chat or from your project settings.

From chat:

“Connect my Discord account”

From project settings: Open Settings, go to Connectors, and select Discord.

When you start the connection:

1. Click Connect Account.
2. Log in to Discord when the authorization window opens.
3. Review the permissions being requested.
4. Select the servers you want to authorize access to.
5. Click Authorize to complete the connection.

Once connected, Sticklight can access your Discord servers while you build.

Available data

Once connected, your project can access:

Data	What you get
Servers	Names, icons, member counts, your role
Members	Usernames, display names, roles, join dates
Channels	Names, types, categories, permissions
Roles	Names, colors, permissions, member counts
Events	Scheduled events, descriptions, times

Available data depends on your permissions in each server.

Common use cases

Server overview dashboard

A single view of all your Discord communities. See every server with member counts, your role, and key stats. Search, sort, and filter to find what you need across multiple communities.

“Build a dashboard showing all my Discord servers with name, icon, member count, and my role in each. Add search and sorting.”

Connection needed: Connector

Member directory

A searchable directory of your community members. Browse by username, filter by role, see join dates, and find specific members quickly. Better than scrolling through Discord’s member list.

“Create a member directory for my Discord server showing username, roles, join date, and avatar. Include search and role filters.”

Connection needed: Connector

Announcement composer

A dedicated tool for crafting server announcements. Write your message, build rich embeds with fields and colors, preview how it will look, and post to the right channel.

“Build an announcement tool where I can write messages, create rich embeds with custom colors and fields, preview them, and post to a selected channel.”

Connection needed: Connector

Event scheduler

Plan and create server events from a clean interface. Set the title, description, time, and location. See upcoming events on a calendar and manage your community schedule.

“Create an event management tool for my Discord server where I can create events, set times and descriptions, and see all upcoming events on a calendar.”

Connection needed: Connector

Server permissions

What you can access and do depends on your role in each Discord server:

• Server owner/admin: Full access to members, channels, settings, and management actions
• Moderator roles: Access based on your specific permissions
• Regular member: Limited to publicly visible information

To use management features like posting announcements or creating events, you need appropriate permissions in that server. Sticklight works within the access your Discord account already has.

What visitors see

When you publish your app, consider who will use it:

• Personal admin tools: Only you access the dashboard and server data
• Mod team tools: Share with other moderators who have their own Discord permissions
• Public displays: Be careful about exposing member data or server internals

Member information like usernames, join dates, and roles should stay in admin-only tools. Build with your community’s privacy in mind.

Limitations

• Permission-based access. You can only access servers and perform actions your Discord account is authorized for.
• Server-by-server authorization. During connection, you choose which servers to grant access to.
• Rate limits. Discord limits API requests. High-frequency operations may be throttled.
• No DM access. Direct messages between users are not accessible through the connector.

FAQ

Does connecting Discord cost anything?

No. Connecting is free. You only spend credits when you build something.

Will this post anything to Discord automatically?

No. Nothing posts until you build something with messaging features and explicitly trigger it. You control what gets sent and when.

Can I access any Discord server?

Only servers where you have an account with appropriate permissions. You select which servers to authorize during the connection flow.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain language and Sticklight builds it. If you do write code, the files are there to open and edit.

Is this the same as building a Discord bot?

It connects through Discord’s bot infrastructure, but you don’t need to set up, host, or maintain a traditional bot. Sticklight handles the connection and you build the interface.

Can I access private channels?

Only if your Discord account has permission to view those channels. The connector respects Discord’s existing permission structure.

Can I build tools for multiple servers?

Yes. You can build dashboards that span multiple servers you have access to, or tools focused on a single community.

Can I connect multiple Discord accounts?

Each project connects to one Discord account. For multiple accounts, create separate projects.
