To send a capture to Discord, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add Discord as a destination. In Discord, open the channel settings, then Integrations > Webhooks. Create a webhook, copy its URL, and paste it into Capture. For a forum or media channel, also set a Thread name or a Thread ID. Text and phone captures become the message content. Links send the fetched page title and the URL on separate lines; if that is longer than 2,000 characters, only the URL is sent. Discord is offered as a destination for Text, Links, Images and Files captures.
A quick capture workflow for Discord

What gets sent to Discord
- Text and phone captures become the message content.
- Links send the fetched page title and the URL on separate lines; if that is longer than 2,000 characters, only the URL is sent.
- Images and files are uploaded as a message attachment without text; HEIC photos are converted to JPEG first.
- Capture turns off mention parsing, so captured text does not ping @everyone or roles.
Set up Discord in Capture
- Open Capture Settings, choose Export, then tap Configure if this is your first destination or Add new destination.
- Choose Discord from the app picker.
- In Discord, open the channel settings, then Integrations > Webhooks.
- Create a webhook, copy its URL, and paste it into Capture.
- For a forum or media channel, also set a Thread name or a Thread ID.
- Review the destination name and icon, then tap Save.

Example: a quick capture to Discord
Create a webhook in your #inbox channel, set Username to “Capture”, and turn on Silent. Exporting a screenshot uploads it to that channel without a notification.
Send the capture
- Open an existing Capture and choose its configured Discord export action.
- Capture hands off only the supported types listed above. Complete any confirmation or compose screen shown by Discord.
Limits and troubleshooting
Limits
- Text messages are limited to 2,000 characters; Capture refuses longer captures and does not split them.
- Thread ID and Thread name cannot be used together.
- The message is posted through the webhook without opening Discord.
Troubleshooting
- If Capture reports the capture is too long, shorten it to 2,000 characters or fewer.
- To get a Thread ID, turn on Developer Mode in Discord, right-click the thread, and choose Copy Thread ID.
- If a forum or media channel rejects the post, set a Thread name or Thread ID.
