Send Discord Follow-Up
The Send Discord Follow-Up block sends a follow-up message to a Discord slash command interaction.
Send follow-up messages to Discord slash command interactions
The Send Discord Follow-Up block sends a follow-up message to a Discord slash command interaction. It works by taking a Discord application ID and an interaction token — both typically sourced from a Discord trigger earlier in the workflow — along with the message text you want to deliver. The follow-up message appears as a new message in the Discord channel where the original slash command was invoked.

What parameters are required to use this block?
The block requires three fields: applicationId (your Discord application ID), interactionToken (the token from the originating slash command trigger), and text (the message content to send). The attachmentUrl and messageIdVariable fields are optional.
What does the block return?
The block outputs a single field, messageId, which is the ID of the follow-up message that was sent to Discord.
How do I capture the sent message ID for use later in the workflow?
You can specify a variable name in the messageIdVariable field. The block will save the sent message's ID into that variable, making it available to subsequent blocks in the workflow.
Can I attach a file to the follow-up message?
Yes. You can provide a URL in the attachmentUrl field. The block downloads the file from that URL and uploads it to Discord as an attachment on the follow-up message.
What kinds of workflows commonly use this block?
This block is used in workflows that begin with a Discord slash command trigger. It is the mechanism for sending a response or result back to the Discord channel after the workflow has processed the command, such as AI query responses, data lookups, or file generation workflows.
