Platform settings reference

Every Discord publishing control

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.

Least-privilege connection

Postly requests View Channels, Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Embed Links, and Attach Files. It does not request Administrator or privileged gateway intents.

Destinations

Publish to text, announcement, thread, forum, and media channels where the Postly bot has permission.

Forum posts

Set a forum thread name and optional applied tag IDs when publishing to forum or media channels.

Delivery

Suppress link embeds, send a message without a push notification, or crosspost an announcement message to following channels.

Attachments

Add up to 10 files while staying within Discord's request-size limit.

Workflow coverage

Use Discord in the composer, calendar, recurring schedules, Bulk Post, Auto Post, templates, presets, external API, and MCP publishing workflows.
