Discord webhook alerts deliver Linkstonic notifications straight into your team’s Discord server the moment a tracked trigger fires. This is useful for teams that already live in Discord and want to route AI visibility changes, position shifts, and competitor activity into a shared channel without checking the dashboard.
Discord webhooks require a Pro or Agency plan. Upgrade your plan in Account Settings to enable this feature.

​
Get your Discord webhook URL

Before configuring Linkstonic, you need to create a webhook in your Discord server.
1

Open your Discord server

Go to the Discord server where you want to receive alerts. You must have Manage Webhooks permission in that server.
2

Go to Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks

Click the server name at the top left, then select Server Settings. In the left sidebar, click Integrations, then Webhooks.
3

Click New Webhook

Click the New Webhook button. Discord creates a new webhook with a default name and channel assignment.
4

Choose the channel and copy the webhook URL

Select the channel you want alerts delivered to, then click Copy Webhook URL. Save this URL — you will need it in Linkstonic.

​
Configure the webhook in Linkstonic

1

Go to Alerts in your Linkstonic dashboard

In the Linkstonic sidebar, click Alerts to open the alert management screen.
2

Select Discord as the delivery channel

When creating or editing an alert rule, choose Discord as the delivery method.
3

Paste the webhook URL

Paste the webhook URL you copied from Discord into the Webhook URL field.
4

Choose which keywords and brands to monitor

Select the tracked keywords and brands this alert rule should cover.
5

Choose which trigger types to receive

Select one or more triggers: mention change, position improvement, new AI platform mention, or mention increase. See Smart Alerts for descriptions of each trigger.
6

Save

Click Save. Linkstonic will now send alerts to that Discord channel when the trigger conditions are met.

​
What a Discord alert looks like

When a trigger fires, Linkstonic posts a structured message to your Discord channel. A typical alert includes:
  • Keyword — The tracked keyword that triggered the alert
  • Brand — The brand being monitored
  • Trigger type — What changed (e.g., mention change, position improvement)
  • Platform — The AI platform where the change occurred (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini)
  • Previous value — The state before the change (e.g., not mentioned, position band 3)
  • New value — The current state after the change (e.g., mentioned, position band 1)
For example, a mention change alert might read: “Brand: Acme Corp | Keyword: project management software | Platform: Perplexity | Change: not mentioned → mentioned.”
Use separate Discord channels for AI visibility alerts and SEO ranking alerts. Routing them into distinct channels makes it easier to triage and respond — your AI team sees AI mention changes in one place, and your SEO team tracks position shifts in another.
