I am not a scripter, but I was wondering if you could send things to your roblox game using a Discord Bot. As you know, roblox can read trello and can send things to trello; you can also send things to discord webhooks from your game, but can you send things from a Discord Bot to the game itself?

It’s a short topic, but its something I’ve been thinking about for a long time now.

Using HttpService, you need to fire a specific table encoded in JSON, which then is a POST request(I think?). Otherwise it is a GET request for reading.

Endpoints for dummies - An HttpService Guide

Hey there, this post will teach you how to use endpoints. For a while I didn’t know how JSon worked and always knew it played a big part in programming.

You might be wondering why you should learn this… In the future many jobs would love to hire people who can use JSon and use post and get methods. To begin, you …

Discord Webhooks - Integrating Roblox with Discord

Hello, Welcome to this tutorial! The tutorial is entirely devoted to Discord Webhooks and some examples of how to use them in your roblox game and take it to the next level. This is my first tutorial on roblox so I am open to any kind of suggestions about the tutorial. Anways Keep Scrolling down to keep learning…:slightly_smiling_face: NOTE: As Of October 2021, Discord has banned any webhook requests from the Roblox APIs. You will now have to use a proxy to still use them. This was due to sin…

You can use a webhook to send data to a discord channel. If you want to actually send it to a bot you’re going to need some kind of post handling on the bot side.
