Feature Request - Post to Channel about touchportal_discord_plugin

[spdermn02]

Thanks for the request and explanation. The RPC api is deprecated but there are still functions to do stuff like this so I'll investigate to see if it's still possible.

Did some research - and from the documentation I see, without using a BOT you cannot write messages using the connectivity method I am using. I'm going to leave this open as I continue to do research but wanted to share that info.

If you are curious, these are the MAX I would have access to https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc#commands-and-events and only then with the correct permission scope to do so.

@Darydactyl - may need to look into a Webhook for your discord server: https://dev.to/oskarcodes/send-automated-discord-messages-through-webhooks-using-javascript-1p01

This could then just post using the https post action in Touch Portal a specifically formatted data object to the webhook. I'll do some testing and let you know how it goes.

Yeah webhooks - works fantastic. I'll put a video together or something to show it off. But yeah - that is the feature you want.

I could build this into the discord plugin and grant you the ability to "create" a webhook for your server, etc. and select the channel for it to go into and then just make a list of webhooks by name and give you the option to

use "hook" to send "message" to discord

where "hook" is a droppdown of available webhooks you have configured, and "message" is whatever message you want to send... hmm let me think about it - i'll reopen this.

Also doing it like this will make it a cleaner implementation for a user, than having to know the in's and out's of discord server management, and JSON structure.

I have webhooks for other features using IFTTT, this sounds like a great feature to implement

would it be possible to add buttons for push to talk and vad?

I have this marked as another enhancement that I'm investigating for the next version.
