Discord Integration

This guide explains how to set up and configure Discord notifications for Solana Insider Monitor.

Setting Up Discord Webhooks

Solana Insider Monitor can send alerts directly to Discord channels using webhooks. Here's how to set it up:

Step 1: Create a Webhook in Discord

  1. Open Discord and navigate to the server where you want to receive alerts
  2. Right-click on the channel and select Edit Channel
  3. Go to Integrations > Webhooks
  4. Click New Webhook
  5. Give your webhook a name (e.g., "Solana Monitor")
  6. Optionally, customize the avatar
  7. Click Copy Webhook URL - you'll need this for configuration
  8. Click Save

Discord Webhook Setup

Step 2: Configure Solana Insider Monitor

Add the webhook URL to your configuration:

{
    "discord": {
        "enabled": true,
        "webhook_url": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/your-webhook-url",
        "channel_id": "your-channel-id"
    }
}
  • enabled: Set to true to enable Discord notifications
  • webhook_url: The Discord webhook URL you copied in Step 1
  • channel_id: Optional channel ID for mentions (if different from webhook channel)

Webhook Message Format

Discord alerts include the following information:

  • Wallet address with explorer link
  • Token name and symbol
  • Balance change amount and percentage
  • Timestamp of the change
  • Alert severity level indicator

Different alert levels use different colors: - Info (Blue): Minor changes - Warning (Yellow): Moderate changes - Critical (Red): Major changes

Troubleshooting

Webhook Testing

You can test your Discord webhook manually by using a cURL command:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Test message from Solana Insider Monitor"}' \
  YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL

Replace YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL with your actual webhook URL.

Common Issues

  • No alerts appearing:
  • Check that enabled is set to true
  • Verify the webhook URL is correct and hasn't been regenerated

  • Ensure the Discord server/channel still exists

  • Rate limiting:

  • Discord may rate limit webhooks if too many messages are sent

  • Consider increasing the significant_change threshold

  • Formatting issues:

  • Make sure the webhook has permission to use embeds
  • Check Discord server settings for webhook permissions

Best Practices

  1. Create a dedicated channel for monitor alerts to avoid cluttering general channels
  2. Set clear channel descriptions to help users understand the alert purpose
  3. Use Discord's notification settings to control when you get notified
  4. Regularly check webhook status if alerts suddenly stop

Planned Enhancements

We're planning to add more advanced Discord features in future versions. See the Feature Ideas document for details on upcoming improvements.
