Discord notifications

2 min read

CraftRank can post messages to a channel in your Discord through a webhook. You choose which events you want, and you can turn it off at any time.

Connect your Discord

In Discord open Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook, pick the channel and press Copy Webhook URL.
On CraftRank, open My servers, then your server's Plugin & API page, and find Discord notifications.
Paste the link, tick the events you want and press Save.

A welcome message appears in your channel right away. Later you can press Send a test message to see what a vote message looks like.

Events you can choose

Every vote: the player's name and head, your votes this month, your rank and a “Vote too” link.
Rank changes: checked hourly. You see your old and new rank. There is no message right after the monthly vote reset.
Server offline / back online: sent when our last two checks could not reach the server, and again when it answers, with the players online.

Other messages

With a webhook connected, your channel can also get:

A message when your server is Server of the Day on the home page.
A message when a community vote goal is reached, or when you win the monthly challenge.
Your own updates, when you tick Also post it to my Discord. See Updates, events and jobs.
A note when a resource listed under Plugins used gets a new version.
With Pro: a weekly report every Monday and rival alerts.

Troubleshooting

“That is not a Discord webhook link”: copy the link again from the webhook settings. It starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/.
“Discord did not accept the message”: the webhook may have been deleted or its channel removed. Create a new webhook and save it again.
Messages stopped: if Discord tells us the webhook no longer exists, we stop using it. Paste a new one.
Turn it off: empty the field and press Save.

Linking your Discord account

Webhooks are separate from linking your own Discord account. That happens in Account settings and can give you the Owner role in our Discord. See Your account.
