How to send messages to discord from roblox with heroku

This may be impossible soon, be weary!

Hiya everyone!

Recently I got a post from @cam, I am a little late to the information, but as you may or may not know discord blocked roblox from using proxies.

I made my own little fix to this via using a webserver running python fastapi and a free Heroku server. (Running on 20 lines of code).

It’s super simple and easy to use.

Tutorial:

Github Repo: Discord To Roblox (github.com)

To get started click the button down below:

Once you’ve done that, it should take you to a screen.

Follow these steps:

For App Name, make up a name.

For a region, choose the closest one to you!

In “Discord_Webhook” paste your Discord Webhook URL:

For Website_Api:

Enter a random string, make sure you remember the string.

Deploying and running in roblox.

To deploy your app.

Press the button and scroll down.

When the view button appears click it.

Copy the link:

and add a “/” onto it. (Your URL will be different to me.

This means “https://discordtorobloxwebhook.herokuapp.com” becomes “https://discordtorobloxwebhook.herokuapp.com/”.

Now, to start to run it on ROBLOX:

Add this script to ServerScriptService:

local HttpsSerivce = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Server_Url = "" --Put your App_URL here. 
local Api_Key = "" --API key we made here.
local Complete_Url = Server_Url.. "discord"


local function SendDiscord(DscMsg)
	local Req_Url = Complete_Url .."?Key=" ..Api_Key.. "&Message=" ..DscMsg
	print(Req_Url)
	local Request = HttpsSerivce:GetAsync(Req_Url)
	local data = HttpsSerivce:JSONDecode(Request)
end


SendDiscord("Hello from roblox!") --Send a message, customize by editing the string!

In Server_Url, put the url where you put a “/” onto it.

Remember the Api_Key we made, paste it into the string for Api_Key.

Example script:

local HttpsSerivce = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Server_Url = "https://discordtorobloxwebhook.herokuapp.com/" --Put your App_URL here. 
local Api_Key = "df0ef802efm2m8f2e-8f82e8f028mfe-" --API key we made here.
local Complete_Url = Server_Url.. "discord"


local function SendDiscord(DscMsg)
	local Req_Url = Complete_Url .."?Key=" ..Api_Key.. "&Message=" ..DscMsg
	print(Req_Url)
	local Request = HttpsSerivce:GetAsync(Req_Url)
	local data = HttpsSerivce:JSONDecode(Request)
end


SendDiscord("Hello from roblox!") --Send a message, customize by editing the string!

(Make sure HTTPS requests are on)

Then use the function how you want to send requests!

There you go!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, if you have any issues feel free to reply down below!

Thanks for reading,

@Noah

Thank you so much cookie, this will help me a ton!

Great tutorial! This is really helpful to know.

How would you send Embeds with it?

Noah · April 6, 2022, 7:29pm

To send an embed you will need to edit the code.

Make your own repo & change (Fork this) & change the main.py to this:

from fastapi import FastAPI
import os
import requests
Discord_Webhook = os.environ.get('Discord_Webhook')
Website_Api = os.environ.get('Website_Api')

def SendMessageToDiscord(Data):
    requests.post(Discord_Webhook, data=Data)

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/discord")
async def read_items(Key: str, Message: str):
    if Key == Website_Api:
      SendMessageToDiscord(Message)
      return "Success"
    else:
        return "Incorrect key"

Then send a request from roblox:

local data = 
	{
		["content"] = "",
		["embeds"] = {{
			["title"] = "__**Ultimate Title**__",
			["description"] = "blah blah",
			["type"] = "rich",
			["color"] = tonumber(0xffffff),
			["fields"] = {
				{
					["name"] = "__Title__",
					["value"] = "hi",
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "__Title__",
					["value"] = "hi",
					["inline"] = true
				}
			}
		}}
	}

local HttpsSerivce = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Server_Url = "https://discordtorobloxwebhook.herokuapp.com/" --Put your App_URL here. 
local Api_Key = "df0ef802efm2m8f2e-8f82e8f028mfe-" --API key we made here.
local Complete_Url = Server_Url.. "discord"


local function SendDiscord(DscMsg)
	local Req_Url = Complete_Url .."?Key=" ..Api_Key.. "&Message=" ..DscMsg
	print(Req_Url)
	local Request = HttpsSerivce:GetAsync(Req_Url)
	local data = HttpsSerivce:JSONDecode(Request)
end


SendDiscord(data) --Send a message, customize by editing the string!

I haven’t tested it so tell me if you encounter any errors!

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

CrDev · April 11, 2022, 1:59pm

I got an problem. And it’s on roblox with that script for embdeds. Yes, I did set up everything how it is supposed to be and on the repos and stuff. The problem is in roblox. It can’t concentrate a string to an table or something. Don’t remember the error.

Noah · April 11, 2022, 2:08pm

Can you make a #scripting-support post?

CrDev · April 16, 2022, 10:08am

Yea, sure. I’ll do that

Deleted_User5 · June 4, 2022, 8:04pm

Works great, thanks @Noah. I am currently modifying a suggestion system with this so I can send suggestions thru my own Heroku link.

(Finally now I don’t need to use this anymore.)

luke · June 7, 2022, 3:31pm

After that how do you do the line? (Sorry for the bump and off topic!)

Noah · June 8, 2022, 5:10pm

Sorry, what do you mean by that?

luke · June 8, 2022, 5:11pm

Nvm its fine, I was just asking how to do the horizontal line after what you said, I found out now anyway.

VeosRob · July 5, 2022, 6:40pm

With this @Noah, I was having the same issue as @CrDev and couldn’t find the scripting support post you asked them to create. So do you have any update you can give me on this or what the fix to the error is? Thanks!

Noah · July 5, 2022, 6:54pm

Hello & welcome to the cookie tech forums!

It looks like @CrDev never made a scripting support post, you can make one to your liking.

Does this have ratelimiting? Because we dont want our proxy’s banned from discord too…

Noah · July 5, 2022, 10:48pm

You shouldn’t be concerned of rate limiting. If you’re getting rate limited by discord it means you’re not using a discord webhook properly, if you’re getting rate limited it means you’re overusing the discord API which is unusual, so make sure that if you do get rate limiting issues you stop sending requests to discord & work out what is sending so much.

Jessica · July 5, 2022, 10:50pm

I suggest you add ratelimiting so only 10 requests per min.

Noah · July 5, 2022, 11:00pm

That’s not really how rate limiting works, ask the experts:

100 requests for one time might be okay, but 50 requests every so and so might not be okay, there is no point in limiting, if you’re getting rate limits from a discord webhook you’re often using it for the wrong thing - I’m curious, in what scenario would you need to use a discord webhook so that your at the risk of getting rate limited.

Jessica · July 5, 2022, 11:01pm

I really dont know.
