Why send a new WordPress post as a channel message to Discord?

Discord is a popular messaging platform that has gained significant traction over the years. It started as a platform for gamers to chat and communicate while playing games, but it has since evolved into a platform used by various communities, including bloggers.

So why should you promote your WordPress posts on Discord? For starters, it can help increase the visibility and engagement of your content. It has a large and active user base, and if you promote your content there, you’ll be able to reach a wider audience than you would on other platforms.

In fact, there are over 150 million registered users and over 19 million active servers. This presents a massive opportunity for bloggers to tap into a vast and vibrant community and promote their content.

Discord also allows real-time interaction with your audience, which can help increase engagement. You can engage with your audience by answering questions, responding to comments, and hosting live events.

Another benefit of promoting your WordPress posts on Discord is the excellent way to drive traffic to your website. By sharing your content, you can entice users to visit your website and read your posts. This can lead to increased page views, longer session durations, and even higher search engine rankings.

Overall, promoting your WordPress posts on Discord can greatly increase engagement, visibility, and traffic to your website. So if you’re not already leveraging it to promote your content, now is the time to start!

2. Click on the server settings, then select the “Integrations” menu under “Apps.”

4. Click on the “Copy Webhook URL” button to copy the webhook URL to your clipboard.
