Discord

Integrate Discord into your lifecycle marketing

Add a bot to your Discord server and Hogsend sees who joins, what they post, and when they go quiet — on the same contact as their email and product activity. Then message them, by email or back in Discord.

In motion

Someone joins. Hogsend takes it from there.

A member joins your server, links their email with one click, and the welcome lands the moment they do — one continuous run.

src/journeys/welcome-new-discord-members.ts

export const welcomeNewDiscordMembers = defineJourney({
  meta: {
    trigger: { event: Events.DISCORD_MEMBER_JOINED },
    entryLimit: "once",
  },
  run: async (user, ctx) => {
    // A fresh join has a discord_id but no email yet.
    const linked = await ctx.waitForEvent({
      event: Events.CONTACT_LINKED,
      timeout: days(2),
    });
    if (linked.timedOut) {
      await ctx.trigger({ event: Events.DISCORD_NUDGE_LINK });
      return;
    }
    await sendEmail({ template: "discord/welcome" });
  },
});

What you can do

Six things it does the day you turn it on

Welcome people who join

A member joining your server starts a journey, so the first touch is automatic.

on join

Act on what they say

Messages and reactions become events you can trigger journeys on.

messages + reactions

Win back quiet members

Hogsend tracks when each member was last active, so you can re-engage the ones who went quiet.

last active

Link a Discord account to an email

A member runs /link and clicks the one-click confirm link from their inbox — now they're emailable too.

/link

Message them in Discord

Post lifecycle messages straight to a Discord channel, alongside the emails you already send.

in-channel

One profile across everything

Discord sits next to email, product activity, and PostHog on a single contact.

one contact

Linking

Tie a Discord account to an email — /link, then one click

The member runs /link, types their email into a private modal, and clicks the one-click confirm link in their inbox — the two become one contact, and they get the verified role.

src/discord.ts

// member runs /link inside Discord → an email modal opens
createDiscordConnector({
  // mint a cold-connect token + email a one-click confirm link
  requestConfirm: ({ discordUserId, email }) =>
    discordColdConnect.mintConfirm({
      platformUserId: discordUserId,
      email,
    }),
  // clicking the emailed link folds discord_id + email onto
  // one contact, grants the verified role, emits discord.linked
});
