Post new Discord forum posts to a Slack support channel
Questions in a Discord help forum show up in the support team's Slack channel with the title and link, so staff can answer without lurking in the server.
New Forum PostSend Channel Message
Connect Slack and Discord
Run your community on Discord and your team on Slack without watching both all day. FlowMattic passes the Discord activity that needs staff, such as forum questions, mentions and new members, into the right Slack channel or direct message, and can post one announcement to both. It runs on your own WordPress site.

Slack and Discord workflows you can build
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.
Send moderators a Slack DM when the team role is mentioned
When someone mentions your staff role in Discord, the moderator you name in the workflow gets a Slack direct message with the message text and the channel it came from.

Welcome new Discord members and tell the community team
Each new member gets a direct message on Discord with the server rules and the community team sees the join in Slack, which helps with onboarding calls for small paid groups.

Pass bug reports from Discord to the developers
A Filter lets through only messages in the bugs channel that mention a crash or error, posts them to the developers' Slack channel and replies in the forum post that the team has it.

Announce a release in Slack and Discord at once
Your deploy script or changelog tool calls a FlowMattic webhook. The same release note goes to the internal Slack channel and the public Discord announcements channel.

Sort community questions with an AI agent before they reach staff
An AI agent reads each new forum post and labels it as billing, technical or general. A Router sends billing to a private Slack channel and the rest to support.

Triggers and actions in this pair
A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Good to know
- Slack has no triggers in FlowMattic, so activity flows from Discord to Slack. A reply in Slack does not post back to Discord; use a Discord action in the workflow for fixed replies.
- Discord triggers only see channels the bot can read. Check the bot's role and channel permissions in your server first.
- New Message Posted to Channel fires for every message in a busy channel. Prefer forum or mention triggers, or add a Filter, so Slack stays readable.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic
Slack and Discord connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Staff stay in one chat app
The team works in Slack and only sees the Discord activity that needs them, instead of keeping a second app open all day.
Busy servers cost the same
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a lively community does not push up a per-message bill.
Tie in your site's members
A workflow can also check a WordPress user or a membership before it welcomes someone or gives them a Discord role.
Common questions
Can Slack messages be posted to Discord?
Not as a trigger, because Slack has no triggers in FlowMattic. To post to both, start from a Webhook, a Schedule or another app, and add a Send Channel Message step for each.
Can I mirror one Discord channel into Slack?
Yes. Start with New Message Posted to Channel for that channel and post each message to Slack. Add a Filter if you only want messages with certain words or from certain people.
Can new Discord members get a role automatically?
Yes. Add Discord Add Role after New User Added. Many servers pair it with a Slack message so staff know who joined.
Do I need a Discord bot for this?
Yes. The Discord connection works through a bot that has to be in your server with access to the channels the workflows use.
