Discord CTA

[GauteR]

Create a Discord CTA with inspirational quotes and how many more we need to do a raid. If we need healers, show other, but highlight the number of healers or something. Pointing it out that we urgently require some more than others.

Discord requests are done like this:

You send a request to a pre-defined Discord Webhook, sat up in the channel settings on Discord, you attach something similar to the following JSON and send as a HTTP POST:

{ "username": "TDB Bot", "avatar_url": "", "embeds": [{ "color": "16597762", "author": { "name": "TDB Monday Raid" }, "title": "TDB Raid Notification", "url": "https://backbone.mutedchaos.com/raids.php", "description": "Good news, @BwnRaiders ! A raid is up for tonight. Get your ass in gear and come share an adventure with your lovely fellow guildies!", "footer": { "text": "{{CheckTime}}" } }] }

This will show a message in the channel.
