Discord Webhook Keeps Posting and You Can't Find It to Remove

Is this your situation?

The short answer

What you see, and why

Check these first

• Check which channel the messages are posting to. Webhooks send automated messages and data updates to a text channel.Verify: Note the channel name shown above each posted message.
• Check Server Settings for the Integrations tab. A webhook is made by opening Server Settings and going to the Integrations tab.Verify: Look under Server Settings for Integrations.
• Check the webhook's assigned channel in the dropdown. The channel a webhook posts to is chosen from a dropdown menu.Verify: Compare the dropdown selection to the channel receiving the messages.

How Discord handles this

• Discord's built in webhooks function as a way to get automated messages and data updates sent to a text channel in a server.
• Webhooks require another website to use.
• Services such as GitHub can use webhooks.
• Webhooks cannot function on their own and need to be linked to another website to function as intended.

Which path applies to you?

1. Do you know which channel the messages appear in? Open Server Settings and go to the Integrations tab.
2. Do you see multiple webhooks listed there? A webhook can be named to help distinguish multiple webhooks for multiple different services.
3. Do you need the channel it posts to? The channel a webhook posts to is chosen by selecting the desired text channel in a dropdown menu.
4. Do you need the webhook URL? The webhook URL for a server or channel can be obtained by pressing the Copy Webhook URL button.

Step by step: finding the cause

1. Open Server Settings. Access the server's settings menu to reach Integrations.Confirm: Check for a tab labeled Integrations in the settings menu.
2. Go to the Integrations tab. A webhook is made by opening Server Settings and going to the Integrations tab.Where: Server Settings → IntegrationsConfirm: Check the Integrations tab for a list of existing webhooks.
3. Review the list of webhooks. A webhook can be named to help distinguish multiple webhooks for multiple different services.Confirm: Check each webhook's name against the service you expect it to belong to.
4. Check the posting channel. The channel a webhook posts to is chosen by selecting the desired text channel in a dropdown menu.Confirm: Check that the dropdown channel matches where messages are appearing.
5. Copy the webhook URL if needed. The webhook URL for a server or channel can be obtained by pressing the Copy Webhook URL button.Confirm: Check that the URL copies to your clipboard.
6. Check any connected external service. You can get the webhook URL for a server or channel by pressing the Copy Webhook URL button.Confirm: Check the external service's settings for the matching webhook URL.
7. Remove the webhook. To make a webhook, open Server Settings and go to the Integrations tab.Confirm: Check the Integrations tab to see that the webhook no longer appears.

Common mistakes

• Looking in the chat log instead of Integrations. A webhook is made by opening Server Settings and going to the Integrations tab.Why it happens: The posted messages look like chat messages, not settings entries.
• Assuming an unnamed webhook has no source. A webhook can be named to help distinguish multiple webhooks for multiple different services.Why it happens: A webhook left unnamed gives no visible clue to its origin.
• Deleting the webhook but not the external connection. Webhooks require another website to use.Why it happens: The URL remains saved in the external service even after removal in Discord.
