🤖 Discord Bot Mentions Proxy to AI Actions

This workflow enables your Discord bot to respond intelligently to @mentions without native triggers by polling channels at set intervals. It filters incoming messages to process only those from authorized users, mentioning your bot, and sent today, ensuring efficiency and security. Cleaned messages are forwarded via HTTP to any webhook endpoint, such as an AI agent or GitHub MCP server, and the bot automatically replies in Discord with the received response.

Key benefits include no reliance on community nodes for better security, role-based access control, message deduplication to prevent loops, and customizable polling frequency. It's ideal for building interactive AI chatbots in Discord, automating moderation by flagging issues, or creating custom bot commands that trigger complex workflows.

Setup is straightforward: configure Discord credentials with read/send permissions, set variables for server/bot/user IDs, target your webhook URL, and adjust the schedule trigger. This security-focused polling approach trades real-time events for reliability, making it perfect for production use in community servers or internal tools.
