Question

How do I auto assign role after new Discord members send a message in a specific channel?

Hi everybody,

I am new to the community and i wondered if there is a way to auto assign a discord role after new members write a message in a specific channel on my server. 

My current approach looks like this: 

 

Trigger: New message posted to channel in Discord

Action: Add role in Discord

 

As far as I understand the user already has to be on the server and I have to manually select their ID to add a role. Is there a way for zapier to automatically find the id of a new user that sent a message in the channel and auto assign a role to them?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Kpx 

Does the Discord Zap trigger return the User id/username?

If yes, then try mapping that value between Zap steps.

Otherwise, try adding this Zap action: Discord - Find User (by username)

 

Still need help?

Post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured along with the DATA OUT from the Zap trigger step.
