🤖 Discord Bot Mention Proxy to AI Actions

This n8n workflow acts as a secure proxy for Discord bot interactions, polling specified channels for @mentions of your bot without relying on native event triggers or community nodes. It filters incoming messages to process only those from authorized users (by user ID), that explicitly mention the bot, and sent within the current day, ensuring noise-free operation and preventing duplicate processing.

Key benefits include enhanced security through official n8n nodes only, role-based access control, and configurable polling intervals (default: every minute). It forwards sanitized messages to any webhook endpoint, such as an AI agent or GitHub MCP server, and automatically replies in Discord with the webhook's response. This setup trades real-time events for reliability and auditability.

Ideal use cases span AI chatbots in Discord (e.g., querying trading bots), channel moderation (auto-flagging issues), and custom command triggers for workflows. In crypto and blockchain trading automation, it enables seamless integration of Discord commands with AI-driven analysis, alerts, or trade executions, saving hours of manual monitoring while maintaining full control via simple variable configurations like server ID, bot ID, and authorized users.
