Discord webhook errors
What the Discord error messages mean and how to fix them.
When you click Send test alert, we post a message through your Discord webhook. If it fails, the red message under the form says why, and the channel isn't saved.
The part after "Discord returned" comes from Discord. These are examples, and Discord's wording can vary.
| Message contains | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Invalid Discord webhook URL" | The link isn't a Discord webhook link. | Copy it again with Copy Webhook URL. It must start with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/. |
| "Unknown Webhook" | The webhook doesn't exist, usually because it was deleted, or part of the link is wrong. | Create a new webhook and paste its full link. |
| "Invalid Webhook Token" | The end of the link is wrong, often because it was cut short when copying. | Copy the link again and paste all of it. |
| "rate limited" | Too many messages were sent through this webhook in a short time. | Wait a minute and try again. |
| "Could not reach Discord webhook" | A connection problem. | Wait a minute and try again. |
A full message looks like this:
Discord returned 404: {"message": "Unknown Webhook", "code": 10015}
See Add a Discord channel for how to create a webhook.
Alerts stopped arriving later
If a Discord channel worked before and alerts now show Failed in Alert history, the webhook was probably deleted in Discord, or the channel it posts to was deleted. A webhook can't be restored: create a new one, remove the old channel in Market Rodeo, add the new link, and pick the new channel in your rules.
