Simple Github -> Discord webhook

Github Webhook Tutorial.md

Step 1 - Make a Discord Webhook

1. Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send commits and other updates

2. In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: Do NOT give this URL out to the public. Anyone or service can post messages to this channel, without even needing to be in the server. Keep it safe!

Step 2 - Set up the webhook on Github

1. Navigate to your repository on Github, and open the Settings

2. Select Add Webhook

3. Paste in the webhook url and append /github to the end. Select "Send me everything", set the type to application/json, and then Add Webhook

4. Test it by updating something or starring the repository! If it works, you're all set!

Can we duplicate the same webhook on different repositories?

Probabaly

Webhooks are just a way to deliver messages. You can use the same webhook on multiple different repos, but they will all deliver to the same Discord channel since Webhooks are channel specific afaik.

thanks it worked!

thanks it worked!

same worked for me after redeliver till then it was showing error.

In the webhook url add /github suffix

select application/json

Also you can choose what updates you want.

if you are also getting 400 just go to recent deliveries and rerun

and here it is working

That was step 3 of the original gist, complete with screenshots…

Thanks it worked for me too 🎉

Worked for me with no modifications. Thanks for the guide.

Works fine thank you so much

thank you, worked perfectly

Gracias.

I only received this after configuring the webhook. Any idea how to fix it?

Fixed using Discord settings

Anyone know how to setup for private channel?

@StephenHodgson setting up a webhook for a private channel is the same as setting up for a public 😋

I figured out what I did wrong. Needed to add /github to the end of my webhook url

It's been working great for a long time! 🙂
Question: Does it also work for an entire organization and all repos from that org, or would I have to do it separately?

I tried to do it for the entire organization, github sends the post events out, but nothing happens in the desired channel.

Did you check the errors in the Github webhook's recent deliveries area? I accidentally forgot to change it to the content type application/json when I set mine up but it seems to work fine now.

Yes I did, they all get delivered. It did work, but only new commits got displayed in discord. Nothing else, altho I choose to deliver everything.

Must be an issue on discords side...

Preesh, this is clutch

I was able to successfully add these webhooks using the Github CLI. Here is a slimmed down version of code. Hope some find this helpful. Cheers!

# raw copy of discord channel webhook URL
discord_webhook=""
url="${discord_webhook}/github"
# your target github org
org=""
# your target github org repo
repo=""

gh api /repos/"${org}"/"${repo}"/hooks \
  --input - <<< "{
  \"name\": \"web\",
  \"active\": true,
  \"events\": [
    \"*\"
  ],
  \"config\": {
    \"url\": \"${url}\",
    \"content_type\": \"json\"
  }
}"

where to write this ?

@husamhabib Into a terminal of some kind. You have to have the GitHub CLI installed. If you're on windows you may want to use git bash?

Props to seeing my comment. I've been seeing the chatter but you're the first person to see the CLI stuff..!

It works for a single repo, but when I add it to the organization's webhook, Discord will not post any message.

exactly, didn't working for me also... just seeing what is going wrong...

@Vedsaga Actually, after a while, it kind of works for me. My discord server got updates from some repos, but some other repos simply stay silent. I'm not sure what the cause was, but in the meantime, I created several webhooks for different repos.

It works! thx

Yes it dose work after like some time...
