Well yes, Discord webhooks aren’t supposed to be used as a logging system. There are plenty of services out there which are intended to be used for logging purposes.

This definitely isn’t true. I believe that Roblox’s chat filter tags “Discord” as they want to be able to audit the servers that the community is being funneled to, should it come to that.
You are able to select a “Discord” server as one of your group’s three linked social media sites, so they clearly haven’t “banned” it.

Hey there! Great tutorial! One question about webhooks. Do you know if there is a way to report a webhook? I believe it is frowned upon to make a player join counter because it spams the API, and has gotten the Roblox API banned from using webhooks. Anyways, there is a server I have found doing this, and I wondered if there is a way to report it and not ruin it for the rest of us. Does anyone know if there is a way?
This is only for account <13. Discord links have always been allowed, just limited due to COPPA.
That is handled on Discord. The first time was kind of Discord’s fault due to not planing for that.

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = {
["content"] = ("player: " ..game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
}
Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)
http:PostAsync("", Data) --Put the link you saved between the two quotes.
what player will this show up as
You can not use HttpService on the client.
how would i rewrite this as a wording script.
What are you trying to do with Discord webhooks?
yes that is what I’m trying to achieve.

We should continue this conversation in message form instead of somebody’s post.
Are you sure that legit, it looks fake.

That was back in 2017; the email layout has changed since then.
This became culture for me, every time i want to log something i find this from google and paste your basic example code
Since Discord doesn’t allow these type of webhooks with high traffic on your game or getting messages from other platforms.
If someone can make the same system but on a website which I don’t think it’s gonna cause problems except outages.
This will be less risky for discord accounts and hopefully, in the future, we will have this system at some point.
thank you for this, this was super helpful
thank u man! this is so helpful

I’ve noticed that my webhooks are no longer working.
Is it true that Roblox has banned Discord webhooks? If so, are there any other alternatives that are easy to set up?

I read somewhere on another thread (can’t find which thread sorry) that people were abusing web hooks, i.e. spamming it from Roblox, which was essentially ddosing the Discord servers, so they started blocking http requests sent from Roblox again. (Yes, this has happened before.) The only way I’m aware of that you can avoid this block is by creating a discord bot running on an external server that receives the http requests from Roblox and then posts them itself to Discord. You will have to pay for hosting or host yourself for this to work however.
The free alternative that I have personally chosen is to use Guilded instead, which is a software very similar to Discord that support web hooks. It also supports the Discord web hooks API, which means you don’t need to change your web hook format, the only thing you need to change is the web hook URL. It was very easy to do and took about 5-10 mins for me. As Guilded is now owned by Roblox, I doubt they will block http requests from Roblox, and will probably instead try to figure out a work-around if it gets bad, so it should be safe futureproof bet.
