Linkstonic can send alert notifications directly to any Discord channel using Discord’s built-in webhook system. Each alert you configure can target a different webhook URL, which means you can route AI mention alerts, keyword ranking drops, and competitor activity to separate channels — keeping your team’s workflow organized without consolidating everything into a single noisy feed.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, confirm the following:
  • Your Linkstonic account is on the Pro or Agency plan. Discord webhooks are not available on the Starter plan.
  • You have Manage Webhooks permission on the Discord server where you want to receive alerts. If you’re posting to a server you don’t manage, ask a server administrator to create the webhook and share the URL with you.

​
Step 1: Create a Discord webhook

1

Open the target channel

In Discord, navigate to the channel where you want Linkstonic alerts to appear.
2

Open channel settings

Click the gear icon next to the channel name to open Edit Channel.
3

Go to Integrations

In the left sidebar of the channel settings, click Integrations, then click Webhooks.
4

Create the webhook

Click New Webhook. Give it a recognizable name — for example, Linkstonic AI Alerts — so it’s easy to identify in your integrations list later. You can optionally upload a custom avatar icon.
5

Copy the webhook URL

Click Copy Webhook URL. Keep this URL ready — you’ll paste it into Linkstonic in the next step.
Keep your Discord webhook URL private. Anyone who has the URL can post messages to your channel — there is no additional authentication required. If a URL is compromised, delete the webhook in Discord and create a new one.

​
Step 2: Add the webhook URL to Linkstonic

1

Open the alert configuration

In Linkstonic, go to Alerts in the left sidebar. Click New Alert to create a new alert, or click an existing alert to edit it.
2

Select Discord as a delivery channel

Under Delivery, select Discord. A webhook URL field appears below the channel selector.
3

Paste your webhook URL

Paste the Discord webhook URL you copied in Step 1 into the field.
4

Send a test message

Click Send Test. Linkstonic posts a test message to your Discord channel immediately. Switch to Discord to confirm the message appeared. If it didn’t, double-check that the URL was copied in full and that the webhook is still active in your Discord channel settings.
5

Save the alert

Once the test message confirms the connection is working, click Save to activate the alert.

​
Alert message format

Linkstonic sends Discord alerts as rich embeds — structured messages with a colored sidebar that stands out from plain text. Each embed includes:
  • Trigger type — the category of alert that fired (e.g., AI mention drop, keyword position change, new competitor detected)
  • Keyword — the specific keyword or query that triggered the alert
  • Current vs. previous value — the before and after values so you can immediately assess the magnitude of the change
  • Brand — the brand being monitored, useful when you’re managing alerts for multiple clients
  • Dashboard link — a direct link to the relevant Linkstonic dashboard page so you can drill into the data without hunting for it

​
Per-keyword webhook routing

Each keyword’s alert can be configured with a different Discord webhook URL. This gives you precise routing control — for example:
  • Route alerts for Client A’s keywords to your Client A Discord channel
  • Route alerts for Client B’s keywords to your Client B Discord channel
  • Route competitor activity alerts to a dedicated competitive intelligence channel your whole team monitors
To set per-keyword webhook URLs, open each alert individually and paste the relevant webhook URL under Delivery → Discord. There’s no limit on the number of distinct webhook URLs you can use across your alerts.
If you’re on the Agency plan and monitoring multiple brands, combine per-keyword Discord routing with combined batched alerts to reduce notification volume. Instead of a Discord message firing every time any threshold crosses for any brand, batched alerts consolidate them into a single scheduled message — much easier to manage when you’re monitoring ten or more brands at once.
