Two recipes for Discord. Each names its trigger and the BlueBot step, lists the fields to map and says how to test it with your own number before anyone else gets a text.
How Discord connects
Zapier: BlueBot’s Zapier app has a Send Text action and instant triggers for incoming texts and every change of state.
API: Your own code calls BlueBot’s REST API and listens to its signed webhooks.
Post incoming texts to a channel
Part
What it is
Trigger
BlueBot’s New Incoming Text trigger in Zapier
Action
BlueBot’s New Incoming Text trigger starts it, and Discord takes the text
Start a Zap with BlueBot’s New Incoming Text trigger.
Add Discord’s Send Channel Message action and pick the channel.
Map the sender’s number and the words of the text into the message.
Map the fields
From BlueBot
Into Discord
From
The phone number to find the person by in Discord. It’s in E.164 (+15555550123); search by the last 10 digits if Discord stores numbers another way.
Text
The words, for a note, a row or a message. Null when the person sent only a picture.
Received At
When it came in, in UTC.
Files
Pictures and voice memos. Each url works for an hour, so copy a file you want to keep.
Chat ID
Set when the text came in a group chat; null for a one-to-one text.
Test it
Text your BlueBot number from another phone, one you’ve texted through BlueBot before, then press Test trigger in Zapier. It loads that text with its fields, ready to map. BlueBot copies texts from people you’ve texted through it, unless you set Which chats to copy to Everything.
Post replies with a channel webhook
Part
What it is
Trigger
A text comes in (BlueBot’s message.received webhook)
Action
A webhook for message.received starts it, and Discord takes the text
Create a webhook for the channel in Discord and copy its URL.
Point a BlueBot webhook for message.received at a small function of your own.
Have the function check BlueBot’s signature and post the sender and the words to the Discord webhook URL.

data.from
The phone number to find the person by in Discord. It’s in E.164 (+15555550123); search by the last 10 digits if Discord stores numbers another way.
data.text
The words, for a note, a row or a message. Null when the person sent only a picture.
data.received_at
When it came in, in UTC.
data.files
Pictures and voice memos. Each url works for an hour, so copy a file you want to keep.
data.chat_id
Set when the text came in a group chat; null for a one-to-one text.
Test it
Run bluebot listen --forward-to http://localhost:3000/webhooks, then text your BlueBot number from another phone. The CLI forwards the event to your handler, signed. BlueBot copies texts from people you’ve texted through it, unless you set Which chats to copy to Everything.
Before you turn it on
Text only people who asked to hear from you. Anyone who replies STOP goes on your stop list, and BlueBot cancels texts to them. Stop words
A text that can’t go yet waits with a hold rather than failing: quiet hours, your Mac away, a daily limit. Holds
Discord with BlueBot on the integrations page says what else the two do together.
