This is my first time using Zapier. I wanted to post a message to a discord server channel every time I post something on my Facebook Page but I’m getting a “This account connection is expired. You'll need to reconnect the account before continuing.” error despite just having connected my account a second ago. I reconnected at least 3-4 times by now and I’m getting the same thing. How do I fix it?

You might want to use a webhook for a reliable method when connecting to Discord, just a suggestion though. Sometimes, Zapier lists Discord unofficially, and when you try to connect, the authentication token may expire quickly, or Discord might block the connection due to permission issues. In any case, make sure the Discord role has permission to send messages in the target channel.
I have a feeling this is just another case of the same bug that's been impacting a lot of connections. Most of the troubleshooting questions are " connecting xyz, stuck in account expired loop" This is something the team might have to look into with Discord themselves.

Hi
Welcome to the Community.
We acknowledge the frustration with authentication token issues and webhook access when integrating with Discord. Webhooks are available on paid plans, but free alternatives may still work. The immediate expiration of authentication tokens is unusual and could be part of a broader issue. The team is actively investigating and coordinating with Discord to resolve potential bugs. Meanwhile, users should verify their Discord settings and permissions and turn off browser extensions that might interfere. Updates will be shared via community forums, and users are encouraged to reach out for further assistance.
