Automate Discord + GitHub
Community chat with an automation-friendly API. Where the code — and half the process — lives. Put an agent between them and the hand-off stops being manual: it reads, decides, acts, and shows its work.
Support First Responder is a ready-made agent built around Discord; point its last step at GitHub to finish this hand-off.
Automations teams run
Each of these runs with a reasoning step between the two tools, so what reaches GitHub is a decision about the Discord event rather than a transcription of it.
When a message posts in a channel in Discord…
…an agent can comment on PRs and issues in GitHub — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a member joins in Discord…
…an agent can open issues with structured detail in GitHub — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a keyword appears in Discord…
…an agent can draft release notes in GitHub — after reading the context and deciding it should.
When a PR opens or merges in GitHub…
…an agent can post channel messages in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When an issue is filed in GitHub…
…an agent can DM members in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
When a release is cut in GitHub…
…an agent can publish digests in Discord — with the reasoning recorded in the run’s receipt.
The Discord and GitHub hand-off, in full
The two ends are the discord-api node and the github-api node. What makes this different from a zap is the middle node — it forms a view about the Discord item before anything reaches GitHub.

}Install Support First Responder
Support First Responder is a working agent built around Discord. Install it, point its last step at GitHub, and you have this hand-off without building it from an empty canvas.
Runs on your own machine · See what it does
Build it in AGNT
- Install AGNT — it runs on your own machine and needs no account to start.
- Authorise GitHub (one OAuth sign-in) and Discord (an API key pasted into the vault). Nothing is stored anywhere but your disk.
- Describe the job in plain language, or paste the definition above; discord-api does the reading and github-api the writing.
- Gate anything you would not want done unattended, then let it run and read the first receipt end to end.
Discord and GitHub — common questions
Can I connect Discord to GitHub without writing code?
Yes. Discord connects with an API key pasted into the vault and GitHub with one OAuth sign-in, both from the local credential vault. You then describe the job in plain language — “when a message posts in a channel, comment on PRs and issues” — and the agent handles the rest.
How is this different from a field-mapping Discord to GitHub automation?
A field mapping copies values and breaks on the first record nobody anticipated. The middle step here reads the Discord item in full and decides — whether it matters, how to summarise it, and what belongs in GitHub. Deciding to do nothing is a valid outcome, which no mapping can express.
Does my Discord and GitHub data leave my machine?
Your credentials stay in a vault on your own disk rather than in someone else’s cloud. The only calls made are the ones the workflow needs: Discord, GitHub, and your chosen model provider — which can be a local one.
What does a Discord and GitHub run leave behind?
A receipt: what was read in Discord, which tools ran with which arguments, what the agent concluded, and what it wrote to GitHub. Anything consequential can sit behind an approval gate so a person signs off before it happens.
