Discord Integration & Webhooks

Connecting your 7 Days to Die server to Discord is essential for community engagement. Webhooks allow you to bridge the gap between in-game events and your community platform.

Setting Up Discord Webhooks

A Webhook is a unique URL provided by Discord that allows external services (like your server) to send messages to a specific channel.

  1. Discord: Server Settings > Integrations > Create Webhook.
  2. Copy the Webhook URL.
  3. Server: Enter the URL into your management tool (CSMM or RAT).

Chat Linking (CSMM/CPM)

By using CSMM (7dtd.sh) or CPM (Cat's Power Mod), you can link the in-game chat to a Discord channel. When players talk in-game, it appears in Discord, and vice-versa. This keeps your community connected even when they are offline.

Best Practice: Create a separate channel for 'Admin Logs' where the server can report player connections, deaths, and potential anti-cheat triggers.
