Discord Upload Guide

Post text messages, photos and short videos to a Discord channel using the IndReelForge API. Discord connects with a channel webhook URL — there is no OAuth login and no bot to install.

Supported Content Types

Type	Endpoint	Notes
Text message	POST /api/upload_text	Up to 2,000 characters
Photo(s)	POST /api/upload_photos	Attached to the message
Video	POST /api/upload	Max 10 MB

Limits

Limit	Value
Message length	2,000 characters
Max file size	10 MB (Discord's webhook upload limit)
Posting rate	Discord webhooks allow roughly 30 messages per minute per channel

Keep videos small

The 10 MB limit applies to each file. Compress or trim longer videos before posting — larger files are rejected before upload.

Get a Webhook URL

1. Open Discord and go to the server you want to post to (you need the Manage Webhooks permission).
2. Open Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks.
3. Click New Webhook.
4. Give it a name and avatar (this is what posts will appear as) and pick the channel it should post to.
5. Click Copy Webhook URL. It looks like https://discord.com/api/webhooks/….

Treat the webhook URL like a password

Anyone with the URL can post to that channel. If it leaks, delete the webhook in Discord and connect a new one.

Connect Discord

From the dashboard

1. Dashboard → Profiles → select your profile
2. Click Connect next to Discord
3. Paste the Webhook URL
4. IndReelForge checks the webhook with Discord before saving — status shows Connected

Use discord_title to send Discord a different message text than the other platforms in the same request.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
Connect fails with INVALID_CREDENTIALS	The webhook URL is wrong or the webhook was deleted	Copy the URL again from Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks
Posts stop arriving	The webhook or channel was deleted	Create a new webhook and reconnect Discord
File rejected as too large	File is over 10 MB	Compress or trim the video / image
Rate limited	More than ~30 messages a minute to one channel	Space posts out or schedule them
