VEIN Discord Integration and Webhooks
Discord notifications are useful for a community, but the current VEIN server reference does not establish a built-in webhook API. Use an external relay only when the server package, panel, or a maintained tool exposes a real event source.
Safe integration checklist
- Confirm the source of events: panel, log, RCON, or supported plugin.
- Create a Discord webhook with the minimum channel permission.
- Store the URL as a secret; never paste it into chat or a public repository.
- Send a test message before enabling production events.
- Rate-limit joins/leaves and redact IPs, passwords, and private identities.
- Rotate the URL if it leaks.
Useful events
| Event | Review before sending |
|---|---|
| Server start/stop | Build, branch, and maintenance notice. |
| Join/leave | Whether player names are appropriate for the channel. |
| Moderation | Keep detailed reports private. |
| Errors | Remove secrets and file paths before posting. |
If nothing arrives
Check the event source, relay process, webhook status, rate limits, and logs. Do not add a fake DiscordWebhookURL key to the game configuration unless the current tool documents it.
