Once a Discord channel is connected (see Connecting your Discord server to Ocoya), you can schedule messages into it the same way you schedule posts for any other channel.
Creating a Discord post
1. Click Create new, then choose New post.
2. Select your Discord channel. Your connected profiles appear as avatars above the caption box, each with a small platform badge showing which network it belongs to. Click the avatar carrying the Discord badge — a selected channel is highlighted with a ring, and hovering over it shows which Discord channel the message will land in. Click again to deselect.
3. Write your message. Discord's 2,000-character limit gives you far more room than most networks.
4. Switch to the Preview tab to check the message before it goes out.
5. Click Schedule to choose a date, time and time zone, or Post now to publish immediately.
Scheduled messages appear on your content calendar and publish automatically at the chosen time.
Character limit
Discord allows up to 2,000 characters per message — considerably more than most social platforms, which makes it well suited to longer announcements and release notes.
Media
Images and video can be attached to a message.
Upload size limits are set by Discord and depend on the server's boost level. Standard servers have the smallest limit, and boosted servers allow larger files.
If a file is rejected, compress it or host it elsewhere and include the link in your message instead.
Formatting, links and mentions
Markdown — Discord renders Markdown, so bold, italics, inline code and block quotes all work in your message text.
Links — include https://. Discord will usually generate a link preview automatically.
Hashtags — these carry no special meaning on Discord and appear as plain text.
Mentions — role and user mentions such as @everyone may not notify members when sent through a webhook, depending on the server's settings.
Discord limitations
These aren't currently available from Ocoya:
Replying to messages or posting in threads
Reading or managing channel conversations
Reactions and moderation actions
Discord-specific analytics
Troubleshooting Discord posting issues
The Schedule button is greyed out
At least one channel must be selected. Check that the Discord avatar above the caption box is highlighted with a ring — if all avatars look dimmed, as in the screenshot above, nothing is selected.
Publishing failed
Check that:
The Discord channel is still connected under Connections → Channels.
The webhook still exists in Server Settings → Integrations in Discord.
The message is within 2,000 characters.
Message posted to the wrong channel
Each connection is bound to the channel chosen at authorisation. To move it, disconnect the channel in Ocoya and reconnect, selecting the correct channel.
Attachment didn't upload
The file most likely exceeded the server's upload limit. Try a smaller file, or link to it instead.
