Discord integration with Nexus
Run Discord community operations through workflows. Discord events start runs directly, and message, bot, channel and role actions manage communities with a record of each change.

Workflow
How it fits into a Nexus workflow
Discord is a trigger source in Nexus. An event can start a governed run directly, and Discord steps then run as pre-built actions in the same workflow.
A trigger source starts work. A connector action performs work. Both run inside the same governed execution.
Beyond pre-built actions
When the pre-built action is not enough
Move down one step: an API, protocol or database call, then custom logic in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript with any library. Every step uses the same secrets, approvals, history and audit.
01
Call the Discord API with the HTTP Request node, or use GraphQL, SOAP or a database node where the system exposes one.
02
Write custom integration logic in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript, with the libraries your team already uses.
03
Direct calls and code use the same vault-backed secrets, approvals, run history and audit as pre-built actions.
Examples
Workflow examples
Role changes with approval
Role requests pause for a moderator before the role is granted.
Announcements
Approved announcements post to the right channels.
Support escalation
A flagged message opens a ticket for the support team.
Deployment, trust and audit
Governance, audit and deployment
Deployment
Nexus runs on-premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. The step needs network reach to the system it calls, and nothing else changes.
Secrets and identity
Credentials are referenced through vault-backed secret handling and role-based access, never embedded in workflow logic.
Audit
Inputs, outputs, approvals and outcomes are written to the execution history for every run.
