Run a Discord community with an Airtable base behind it. New records can announce events, open forum threads or give a member a role, and Discord activity such as new members, forum posts and suggestions can be stored as records you sort and report on. FlowMattic runs the workflows from your WordPress site.

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateNew events, releases or job openings added to a table are announced in the Discord channel you pick, with the record's details in the message.

Each person who joins the server gets a record with their name and join date, which helps paid communities match Discord members to subscriptions.
New User AddedCreate Record
A Filter keeps messages from the suggestions channel that are longer than a few words, and each becomes a record your team can vote on and tag.

Moderators add approved applicants to an Airtable table with their Discord username. The workflow finds that member in the server and gives them the member role.

Each event added to the base gets its own Discord forum post, so attendees discuss it in one place instead of a crowded general channel.

At the end, every new record in your Airtable table posts a message to a Discord channel.
Under Connects, add Airtable with access to the base you want to watch.
Add Discord and make sure the bot is in your server and allowed to post in the channel.
Create a workflow with Airtable New Record, choose the base and table, and add a test record.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Airtable and Discord connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Airtable keeps the structured side of the community, such as members, events and suggestions, while Discord stays the place people talk.
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so logging every forum post or join costs nothing extra.
The same workflow can check a WordPress user or a membership on your site before it gives a Discord role.
In FlowMattic, connect both apps, then start a workflow from Airtable New Record with a Discord action such as Send Channel Message, or from a Discord trigger with Airtable Create Record. Test each step with a sample and switch the workflow on.
Not with the Airtable app here, which only triggers on new records. A common way round is a separate updates table where each change is added as a new record.
Yes, if the message carries the record ID. Use Update Record with that ID. Otherwise Create Record adds a new one for each message.
Yes. Use Find User and Send Direct Message to reach one member, for example to tell an applicant they were approved.
