Send alerts to Discord
Discord alerts use a channel webhook, a single secret URL that Mortemain posts to. There's nothing to install, and it takes about two minutes.
1. Open your server
You need a Discord server you manage and a channel for the alerts. If you don't have one, click the + on the left rail in Discord and Create My Own, it is free and instant.
2. Create the webhook
Hover the target channel, click Edit Channel (the gear), open Integrations, then Webhooks, then New Webhook. Optionally rename it Mortemain and confirm the channel. Click Copy Webhook URL:
https://discord.com/api/webhooks/000000000000000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
3. Add the target in Mortemain
In your Mortemain dashboard, add a notification target:
- Type → Discord
- Name → anything you'll recognise, e.g. Ops alerts
- URL → paste the webhook URL
Save, then wire it to the checks you care about.
Test it
Hit Test on the target. A message lands in the Discord channel within a second or two. Discord renders Markdown, so the title line (check name and state) shows in bold, with the alert text below.
