Discord Message Proxy Bot Mentions & AI Actions

This n8n workflow acts as a sophisticated proxy for Discord messages, specifically designed to process messages where a bot is mentioned. It filters out duplicate mentions, extracts relevant information, and sets up a framework for potential AI-driven actions or further processing.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

1. Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow is set to run at regular intervals, checking for new messages or events.
2. Fetches Discord Messages: It makes an HTTP request to a Discord API endpoint to retrieve messages. This is likely configured to fetch messages from a specific channel or server.
3. Filters for Bot Mentions: It processes the fetched messages and filters them, presumably to only include messages where a bot (or a specific user/role) has been mentioned.
4. Removes Duplicate Mentions: To prevent redundant processing, the workflow identifies and removes any duplicate messages or mentions that might have been captured.
5. Edits Fields for Processing: It transforms and sets specific fields from the Discord message data, preparing it for subsequent steps. This could involve extracting the message content, author, channel ID, etc.
6. Prepares for AI Actions (Code Node): A "Code" node is included, indicating a place where custom JavaScript logic can be added. This is a placeholder for integrating AI models, natural language processing, or other custom computations based on the Discord message content.
7. Sends Message to Discord: Finally, it uses the Discord node to send a message back to Discord. This could be a response from an AI, a confirmation, or a forwarded message.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• Discord Bot Token: A Discord bot account and its token are required to fetch messages and post responses.
• Discord API Endpoint: Knowledge of the specific Discord API endpoint for fetching messages.
• n8n Instance: An active n8n instance to run the workflow.
• Custom AI/Logic (Optional): If the "Code" node is to be utilized for AI actions, access to an AI service (e.g., OpenAI, custom ML model) or specific JavaScript logic will be needed.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Discord Credentials:
   • Open the "HTTP Request" node and ensure it's configured with the correct Discord API endpoint and any necessary authentication headers (e.g., your bot token).
   • Open the "Discord" node and configure your Discord bot credentials.
3. Adjust Schedule Trigger: Modify the "Schedule Trigger" node to your desired interval for checking new messages.
4. Customize Filter Logic: Review the "Filter" node to ensure its conditions correctly identify bot mentions or the specific messages you want to process.
5. Implement AI/Custom Logic:
   • Open the "Code" node.
   • Add your custom JavaScript code to process the Discord message data. This is where you would integrate calls to AI services or implement specific business logic.
6. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start processing Discord messages.
