How to Forward Text Messages to Discord

Why Forward SMS to Discord?

Forwarding SMS to Discord helps you:

Prerequisites

Before setting up Discord forwarding, make sure you have:

  1. Forward SMS app installed
  2. iOS Shortcuts automation configured (Required first step)
  3. ✅ Discord server with Manage Webhooks permission

Setup Steps

Step 1: Create Discord Webhook

To forward messages to Discord, you need to create a webhook:

  1. Open Discord (desktop or mobile app)
  2. Go to your Server where you want to receive messages
  3. Click on Server Settings (gear icon)
  4. Navigate to Integrations in the left sidebar
  5. Click on Webhooks
  6. Click New Webhook button
  7. Configure your webhook:
    • Name: Give it a name (e.g., "SMS Forwarding")
    • Channel: Select the channel where messages should appear
  8. Click Copy Webhook URL button
  9. Click Save Changes

Important: Keep this webhook URL private. Anyone with the URL can send messages to your Discord channel.

Step 2: Configure Forward SMS App

Now add the Discord webhook to your Forward SMS app:

  1. Open Forward SMS app
  2. Tap Create New Rule or "+" button
  3. Select Discord as the destination type
  4. Paste the Webhook URL you copied from Discord
  5. Tap Send Test Message to test the integration
  6. Check your Discord channel to verify the test message arrived
  7. Tap "Save"

Your SMS messages will now automatically forward to your Discord channel!
