Formatting

Formats offers a comprehensive way to construct Discord Messages using data from notifications. Once created, formats can be used on any of the feeds or integrations you have.

Notification Variables

Variables represent parts of notification content like the title, link, thumbnail etc. Each platform has different variables you can use to construct your message templates. The comprehensive list is displayed each time you edit or add a message template in the Web Dashboard.

Text Formats

The RSS is a text format created by default when using RSS feeds. To make a new text format you can use text combined with variables inside {{ }} for example:

@everyone This is a new article: {{Title}}
View it at {{Link}}

Text Formats can be enhanced with markdown the same as any other Discord text message.
