Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Discord integration, identifies the right channel, and sends your message with any attachments.

Claude Code

> Send an announcement to our Discord
  #releases channel that v2.0 is live,
  attach the changelog screenshot

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Discord for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Discord + Other Platforms

Schedule the same announcement to Discord and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> What's scheduled on Discord this week?

Paperclip: 6 posts on Discord: the announcement tomorrow
  at 9:00 AM and daily tips Mon-Fri at 10:00 AM.
  Want me to move or cancel any of them?

What can you ask Paperclip to do on Discord?

You assign a task in plain language and the agent translates it into Postiz calls with the right Discord settings. These are prompts people actually give a Paperclip agent for Discord.

Release announcement

Ask Paperclip

> Post the v2.4 changelog to the #announcements
  channel tomorrow at 10am with banner.png

Paperclip: channel resolved to #announcements.
  Scheduled on Discord for tomorrow 10:00 AM.

Weekly community update

Ask Paperclip

> Every Friday at 4pm, summarize this week's
  merged PRs and post it to #dev-updates

Paperclip: Recurring Friday task created. First
  summary scheduled for Fri 4:00 PM.

Cross-post an event

Ask Paperclip

> Post the meetup details to #events on Discord
  and to our Slack #general at the same time

Paperclip: Two channels queued for 9:00 AM tomorrow.

What Discord rules should the agent follow?

Discord rejects posts that break its limits, so the agent needs these constraints up front. Put them in the task or in your Paperclip agent's instructions.

✓channel is required and takes the Discord channel ID, not the name. Ask the agent to list channels through Postiz to resolve it.
✓Discord messages are limited to 2,000 characters. Longer changelogs should be split or posted as a file attachment.
✓You need Manage Server permission on the Discord server to connect it in Postiz, and the Postiz bot must have access to the target channel.
✓Images, videos, and files are uploaded through Postiz first and attached to the message.

Paperclip and Discord: frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions teams ask before letting a Paperclip agent post to Discord through Postiz.

How do I post to Discord from Paperclip?

Install the Postiz skill in your agent's environment with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent, set POSTIZ_API_KEY, and connect your Discord server in Postiz. Then assign a task such as "post the changelog to #announcements tomorrow at 10am" and the agent resolves the channel and schedules the message.

Does Paperclip need its own Discord bot?

No. Postiz provides the bot connection. You authorize it once in the Postiz dashboard, which requires Manage Server permission, and the bot posts to channels it can see. Paperclip agents only talk to Postiz, with an API key or postiz auth:login, and never hold a Discord token.

How does the agent know which Discord channel ID to use?

Discord posts require a channel ID. The agent lists available channels through Postiz (postiz integrations:settings), matches the name you used in the task, and sets the channel field. You can also paste the ID directly from Discord with Developer Mode enabled.

Can a Paperclip agent post a weekly update to Discord automatically?

Yes. Paperclip heartbeats wake the agent on your cadence, it gathers the update (for example merged pull requests), and Postiz posts it at the exact time. Add a reviewer agent or approval step in Paperclip so a person can read the summary before it reaches your community.

What is the Discord message limit when posting through Postiz?

Discord accepts 2,000 characters per message. If your agent drafts something longer, ask it to split the content into several messages or attach the full text as a file. Media attachments are uploaded through Postiz and sent with the message.
