Post a Discord notification when a comment is created on a Worksection task
When someone adds a comment in Worksection, this workflow posts a message to the Discord channel you choose, so team members who work in Discord see new task discussion without opening Worksection.

What this workflow does
Comments are where most decisions on a Worksection task get made, and people who aren't watching that task miss them. If your team already talks in Discord, a short note there gets a comment seen sooner than an email digest. This workflow posts one for every new comment.
The Worksection trigger fires when a comment is created. FlowMattic takes the comment data from that event and runs Send Channel Message in Discord. You write the message and place values from the trigger in it, such as the comment text, its author or the task it belongs to, as far as Worksection sends them.
Each new comment posts once. Edited or deleted comments are separate Worksection triggers and don't post here. Because there is no filter, comments from every project reach the same channel. Task History shows what was posted and Discord's reply for each run.
Client feedback on a design task
A designer who works in Discord sees each comment a client leaves on a Worksection task and can respond quickly in the task itself.
Development questions during a sprint
Developers keep one Discord channel open all day, and new Worksection comments on sprint tasks appear there as they are written.
Volunteer coordination
A community group plans events in Worksection but chats in Discord, so comments on event tasks are posted where volunteers will read them.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Worksection Comment CreatedFires when a comment is created in Worksection. The comment and its related task details, as far as Worksection includes them, are ready for the message.
- Discord Send Channel Message
Sends a message to the Discord channel you pick, using your text and the comment values you map. You connect your Discord account during import.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Worksection AccountAccount
- Discord AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Leave a test comment on a Worksection task after import, then check Task History to see the fields the trigger provides before writing the message.
- Add a Filter before the Discord step if only one project's comments belong in the channel, matching the project name or ID that Worksection sends.
- Running several projects? Copy the workflow once per project, give each copy a Filter for its project, and point each at that project's Discord channel.
Questions about this workflow
Do edited Worksection comments post again in Discord?
No. Edits fire Worksection's separate Comment Edited trigger. This template listens for new comments only.
Will comments from every Worksection project reach Discord?
Yes, as imported. There is no condition between the trigger and the Discord step, so add a Filter if you want only some projects.
Can the Discord message link back to the Worksection task?
If the trigger includes a task link or ID, you can put it in the message. Run a test comment to see what Worksection sends.
Does posting to Discord change anything in Worksection?
No. The workflow reads the comment event and posts a message. The comment and the task stay as they are in Worksection.
