**Not supported:** forum channels, custom embeds, polls, and more than one channel of the same server in one post.

## Connect Discord

<Note>
  Discord is listed in **Add Channel**, but it cannot be connected on PostQueen yet. Connecting it will add PostQueen's bot to one server, and you will need the **Manage Server** permission there.
</Note>

## Post settings

Each Discord post in the composer has one setting:

* **Select Channel**: the text or announcement channel to post in. Required. Forum channels are not listed.

The field names and values for the API are on [Discord posting settings](/public-api/providers/discord).

## Good to know

* Before a post is scheduled, PostQueen checks that it is at most 1,980 characters and that a channel is picked.
* **Add comment** adds follow-ups, each with its own delay. The first starts a thread on the message, named "Thread", and later ones go into the same thread. Discord archives the thread after a day without activity.
* Type `@` to mention a member or a role, found by search. `@here` and `@everyone` are offered too, but they only notify people when the bot's role has the **Mention Everyone** permission in that server.
* The bot asks for **View Channel**, **Send Messages**, **Embed Links**, **Attach Files** and the thread permissions. If a channel limits who can see it, give the bot's role **View Channel**, **Send Messages** and **Attach Files** there.
* When Discord refuses a post, it fails with the reason: "Bot doesn't have access to this channel", "Bot lacks permission to send messages in this channel", "Channel no longer exists" or "Attachment exceeds Discord's size limit".
* Discord's own file limit is not checked first: 20 MiB per file by default, and more in boosted servers.
