I don’t know what type of payload Discord expects so you may need something in between to convert your Sanity webhook to something Discord understands.

thank you for taking the time to reply🙏 I believe the type of payload discord expects is json. I already made a webhook to work with github and discord using a json payload. If i’m understanding correctly from the sanity docs, sanity formats their payload as an associative array. You mention that I may have to possibly convert this payload?

Yeah it’s likely JSON but it’ll also need data in a specific shape, eg:
So that data either needs to be constructed in the
{
"channelId": 12345
"message": "This is a message for Discord."
}Projectionfield in the Sanity admin otherwise you’ll need need another method to format it.

Wanted to follow up, I figured it out finally how to fix the empty message error from reading this stack overflow article https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52565121/discord-webhook-can-not-send-empty-message . I entered this in the Projection
{"content": "Test"} apparently sanity required the word “content” keyword for it to know that is the “message”. Thank you again for your help earlier pointing me in the right direction 🙌 🙏Mar 22, 2022, 8:14 AM
