6. Notifying the Team
In this step of the workflow you will learn how to send messages to a Discord channel using the Discord node.
Now that you have a calculated summary of the booked orders you need to notify Nathan’s team in their Discord channel. n8n has a Discord node that allows you to send messages. We'll be sending the messages to the n8n server on Discord.
!!! note " Communication nodes" You can replace the Discord node with another communication app. For example, n8n also has nodes for Slack and Mattermost.
In your workflow, add a Discord node connected to the Function node. In the Discord node window, configure the parameters:
- Webhook URL: Enter the URL that you received in the email from n8n when you signed up for this course.
- Text (Expression):
This week we have {{$json["totalBooked"]}} booked orders with a total value of {{$json["bookedSum"]}}. My Unique ID: {{$node["HTTP Request"].parameter["headerParametersUi"]["parameter"][0]["value"]}}
Now execute the Discord node and if all works well, you should get a message in Discord:
What's next?
Nathan 🙋: Incredible, you've saved me so many hours of tedious work already! Now I can simply execute this workflow when I need it. I just need to remember to run it every Monday morning at 9 am...
You 👩🔧: Don't worry about that, you can actually schedule the workflow to run on a specific day, time, or interval. I'll set this up in the next step.
