Schedule Discord messages for your server
Prepare Discord messages with text and files in Crowdbird and set the time. The Crowdbird bot posts them in the channel you choose, and your server sits in the same week view as your other networks.
You can't connect Discord right now. Once it's back, scheduling works as described on this page.

What Crowdbird posts on Discord
Channel messages and forum posts go out through the Crowdbird bot to the channel you choose, at the time you set.
- Text up to 2,000 characters
- Up to 10 files, 25 MB each
- Forum posts with a title up to 100 characters
Discord next to your other networks
Plan your Discord messages in the same week as Instagram, TikTok and your other accounts. The same idea gets its own text on Discord while the other versions stay as they are.
- Own text per network and account
- Target channel set per post
- Messages appear with the name Crowdbird
Fixed times for your Discord week
Set fixed times per weekday and new messages take the next free slot. Crowdbird does not suggest times for Discord, so you pick the slots that suit your server.
- Fixed times per weekday
- Publish now or schedule ahead
- Slots you set yourself
Prepare several messages by CSV
Upload text, time, channel and a media link as a CSV. Each row is checked and saved as a draft that you review before scheduling.
- Text, time, channel and media link
- Each row becomes a draft
- Review before you schedule
Your first scheduled Discord message in three steps
Install the bot
Add the Crowdbird bot to your server through Discord's official authorization. You need permission to add bots on that server.
Prepare the message
Enter the channel ID, write the text and add up to 10 files. For a forum channel, turn on forum post mode and add a title.
Set the time
Pick your own time or the next free slot in your queue.
Schedule Discord messages through the Crowdbird bot
If you are looking for a Discord scheduler bot, this is how Crowdbird works: it posts through its own bot into the channel you choose. You install the bot on your server through Discord's official authorization. For that you need permission to add bots on the server. After that you schedule Discord messages like any other post, and the bot sends each one at the time you set.
You never enter your Discord password with us. If Discord asks you to sign in during the authorization, you do that on Discord.
How to find the channel ID in Discord
Every scheduled message needs the ID of its target channel, a number with 17 to 20 digits. Discord shows it once developer mode is on:
Open your Discord settings and turn on developer mode in the advanced section.
Right-click the channel in your server, or press and hold it in the mobile app.
Copy the channel ID and paste it into the post.
Developer mode only adds options to copy IDs in your own Discord app. Your members don't notice anything.
What a scheduled Discord message can contain
The text can be up to 2,000 characters. You can add up to 10 images or videos per message, each up to 25 MB. A video that works for your other networks can still be too large for Discord, so check the size before you schedule.
If the target is a forum channel, turn on forum post mode. The post then needs a title of up to 100 characters, which members see in the forum's list of posts.
Messages appear with the name Crowdbird
Because the bot sends the message, your members see "Crowdbird" as the sender, not your own name. Make clear who is speaking, for example by ending with the studio name or your first name.
On Discord the bot only sends. There is no inbox, no automations and no statistics for Discord, so replies from your members stay in the server. Answer questions about a glaze day there directly.
One week across all your networks
In the social media scheduler you see your Discord server next to Instagram, TikTok and your other connected accounts. One idea can run on several networks and still get its own text on Discord. For Ceramico Studio that means a public Instagram post about the new glazes and a message for members with the workshop details.
The AI assistant can shorten a longer text to fit Discord, translate it or adjust the tone. Check dates, times and names yourself afterwards. The platforms overview shows which features each network supports.
Times, queue and import
Set fixed times per weekday. New messages take the next free slot, and you can also publish any message right away or schedule it at least two minutes ahead for a time of your own. There are no suggested times for Discord, so choose slots that fit your server, for example the evening before each workshop.
For many messages at once, use the CSV import with text, time, channel and media link. Each row is saved as a draft. Check every draft, including the channel ID, before scheduling.
Common mistakes when scheduling on Discord
Copying the server ID or a message ID instead of the channel ID.
Scheduling for a forum channel without turning on forum post mode and adding a title.
Adding a file over 25 MB, often a video exported for another network.
Leaving the bot without permission to see or write in the target channel. Check the channel's permissions for the bot's role.
How does the Discord scheduler bot in Crowdbird work?
Crowdbird posts through its own bot into the channel you choose. You install the bot on your server through Discord's official authorization, enter the channel ID for each post and set the time. At that time the bot sends your message. Members see "Crowdbird" as the sender, so make clear in the text who is writing.
How do I find the channel ID in Discord?
Turn on developer mode in the advanced section of your Discord settings, then right-click the channel, or press and hold it in the mobile app, and copy the channel ID. It is a number with 17 to 20 digits. Paste it into the post and check that it belongs to the channel, not to the server or a message.
Can I schedule a post in a Discord forum channel?
Yes. Turn on forum post mode and give the post a title of up to 100 characters, which is required in this mode. Then add the text and up to 10 files as usual and enter the channel ID of the forum. The bot creates the forum post at the time you set, and members see the title in the forum's list.
How long can a scheduled Discord message be?
The text can be up to 2,000 characters, and you can add up to 10 images or videos of up to 25 MB each. If a text written for another network is longer, shorten it or split it into two messages. The AI assistant can help you shorten it, but read the result before you schedule it.
Why do my scheduled messages show the name Crowdbird?
Scheduled messages are sent by the Crowdbird bot, so Discord shows "Crowdbird" as the sender. They don't appear under your personal Discord name. To make clear who is speaking, end the message with your studio name or your first name, or say in the first line who the message is from.
Do I have to give Crowdbird my Discord password?
No. You add the Crowdbird bot to your server through Discord's official authorization, and if Discord asks you to sign in, you do that only on Discord. Crowdbird uses the official interfaces and does not store your password. You can remove the bot from your server in Discord whenever you want.
Can I answer replies or see results for Discord in Crowdbird?
No. For Discord, Crowdbird schedules and sends messages, but it has no inbox, no automations and no statistics. Replies from your members stay in Discord, where you answer them directly. Crowdbird also does not suggest posting times for Discord, so you set fixed queue slots that suit your server.
