1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Gmail to Discord Integration

To begin with the Gmail to Discord integration, you will need to use Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the process of forwarding emails from your Gmail account to a Discord channel. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account or create a free account if you don’t have one yet.

Once logged in, you will reach the dashboard. Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Give your workflow a name, such as ‘Forward Emails from Gmail to Discord Server Automatically’, and click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.


2. Choosing Applications in Pabbly Connect

In your new workflow, you will see two boxes representing the trigger and action. The trigger is what initiates the process, while the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select the ‘Email Parser’ as the trigger application and choose ‘Discord’ as the action application.

  • Select ‘Email Parser’ for the trigger.
  • Choose ‘Discord’ for the action.

Next, copy the email address provided by Pabbly Connect for the email parser. This email address will be used to forward emails from your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect.


3. Configuring Gmail Settings for Forwarding

Now, you need to configure your Gmail account to forward emails to the email parser address from Pabbly Connect. Go to your Gmail settings by clicking on the gear icon and selecting ‘See all settings’. Navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab.

Here, click on ‘Add a forwarding address’ and paste the email address you copied from Pabbly Connect. Confirm the forwarding address by clicking ‘Next’ and then ‘Proceed’. A confirmation code will be sent to Pabbly Connect, which you will need to verify.


4. Verifying Forwarding and Testing the Setup

After adding the forwarding address, check your Pabbly Connect dashboard for the confirmation code. Copy the code and return to Gmail to paste it in the confirmation code box and click ‘Verify’. This will establish the connection between your Gmail and Pabbly Connect.

Now, send a test email to your Gmail account with an attachment. Once the email is received, check your Pabbly Connect dashboard to confirm that the email and its contents, including the attachment, have been captured successfully.


5. Setting Up Discord Integration with Pabbly Connect

To send messages to your Discord channel, you’ll need to set up a webhook URL. In your Discord server, go to server settings, then to the ‘Integrations’ section, and create a new webhook. Copy the webhook URL provided by Discord.

  • Select your Discord server.
  • Create a new webhook and copy the URL.

In Pabbly Connect, choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’ and paste the webhook URL. Customize the message format to include details from the email, such as the sender’s name and the attachment link. Save the changes and send a test request to see the message appear in your Discord channel, confirming that the integration is working correctly.
