Put it into practice
Follow these focused guides for the formats and publishing decisions that matter on Discord.
Connect the server and select a forum or media channel where the Postly bot can publish.
Set the forum thread name and any tag IDs required by that forum.
Attach the message and files, preview the post, and choose a publishing time.
Keep in mind: Channel permissions can differ from the server's default permissions.
Select the intended announcement channel and prepare the message.
Choose whether to suppress link embeds or send without a push notification.
Enable crossposting when you want the announcement shared to following channels, then review and schedule.
Keep in mind: Use a test message in an appropriate channel to verify bot permissions before a major launch.

Open Platform settings in the composer to tailor the post for Discord. Available options can depend on the selected account, content type, and API rules set by Discord.
Postly requests View Channels, Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Embed Links, and Attach Files. It does not request Administrator or privileged gateway intents.
Publish to text, announcement, thread, forum, and media channels where the Postly bot has permission.
Set a forum thread name and optional applied tag IDs when publishing to forum or media channels.
Suppress link embeds, send a message without a push notification, or crosspost an announcement message to following channels.
Add up to 10 files while staying within Discord's request-size limit.
Use Discord in the composer, calendar, recurring schedules, Bulk Post, Auto Post, templates, presets, external API, and MCP publishing workflows.
Step-by-step
Open Social Accounts, choose the platform, and complete the platform's authorization flow.
Write a post, generate a draft with AI, reuse a template, or add content in bulk.
Choose the destination, format, audience, engagement, link, and media options available for this channel.
Check the channel preview, resolve media guidance, and send the post through approval when needed.
Publish immediately, choose a date and time, or use a recurring schedule where the platform supports it.
