AutoIT including WebHooks for Discord

[SolemnStrike]

Hello,

Maybe some of you know the program / site "discord.gg", it's a Chat for gamers.

There is a function called "WebHook" which is more or less a little pseudo bot.
You get a link and over this you can let the bot send whatever you want.

For example here is a little bot/webhook that posts the newest NASA articles, including Pictures.
I "created" this with the site "ifttt.com" which manages webhooks for you.

Now my question:
When there is an event detected by my bot,
can i send a message from my Bot directly to my Discord Webhook with the link?
A message like "loot xyz is found"?

If this is not possible, i would try to use a longer way:
When my Bot detects an event,
I would try to trigger "ifttt.com" with something like an email or something else (i still have to figure out what is the best, fastest and securest way) and trigger my Discord Webhook this way, but this would take way longer since it has to go over "ifttt.com"...

Hey it is me again...

I just managed to send a message via a discord webhook in another coding language (screenshot).
As you can see there is not much needed, but still i simply can't make it work in AutoIT.
I also tried to use JSON.au3, since this is what Discord wants.
Does someone has time and can write me an example?

This should be simple with the WinHTTP UDF. Show your code if you encounter any issues implementing it, and I'm sure someone will help out.

Took me a while but I figured this out for my own use, hope it helps you out as well!

Also remember to switch out the Discord webhook URL for your own.

This requires nothing but an up to date AutoIt, cheers!

Webhook("Awesome")

Func Webhook($Message)
    Local $Url = "https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/sensitive-data-goes-here"
    Local $oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
    Local $Packet = '{"content": "' & $Message & '"}'
    $oHTTP.open('POST',$Url)
    $oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
    $oHTTP.send($Packet)
EndFunc

 

WARNING! This code doesn't work as of January 2nd, 2020!

Read down a bit for an updated function.

I am attempting to do the exact same thing! I tried the code from above and it doesn't work for me. Am I suppose to include any UDF's or any additional code to make this work, besides what is listed above.

 

Thanks in advance!

@Trying2Hard "doesn't work" doesn't help us much. What errors are you getting, or what is happening? Help us help you

Using the latest version of auto it, I replaced "https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/sensitive-data-goes-here" with the webhook provided to me by Discord. Ran the script and nothing happens. I wasn't sure if I needed to INCLUDE a UDF or any of the files, because if you look at the code above - none of that is referenced. The script runs and does nothing. 

 

Scite provides this at the end of the script:
>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Users\Ronnie\Desktop\Last Test.au3"    
>Exit code: 0    Time: 0.06764

Wow, it has been a long time since I've written in AutoIt, and a long time since I commented here.

Don't worry @Trying2Hard it wasn't working when I tried it either, the issue was that Discord modified their Webhook requirements and were sending an Error 404; Bad Request. I've now modified the code to work after Discord's changes by setting the header to json seeing as we're sending a json object. Took me hours to figure that out. Also side note, as I said in the last comment it's pure AutoIt, no UDFs.

 

As I said before, remember to switch out the Discord webhook URL for your own.
