Message Forwarding

Copycord can forward messages from source servers to external services in real time. This is separate from server cloning — forwarding sends messages to webhooks, Telegram, Pushover, and more.

Supported services​

ServiceTypeDescription
Discord WebhookWebhook URL(s)Forward to one or more Discord channels via webhook
TelegramBot APISend messages to a Telegram chat or channel
PushoverPush notificationGet push notifications on your phone

Creating a forwarding rule​

  1. Go to the Forwarding page in the dashboard
  2. Click Create Rule
  3. Configure the rule:
    • Service — Choose the destination (Discord webhook, Telegram, Pushover)
    • Webhook/API URL — The destination endpoint. For Discord you can add multiple webhook URLs — paste each one and press Enter to add it as a chip, and the message is forwarded to all of them
    • Guild filter — Which source server to watch (or all)
    • Channel filter — Specific channels (or all)
    • User filter — Specific users (or all)
    • Keyword filter — Only forward messages containing specific words
  4. Click Save

Filter options​

Each rule supports flexible filtering so you only receive relevant messages:

  • Guild — Scope the rule to a specific source server
  • Channel — Only forward from specific channels
  • User — Only forward messages from specific users
  • Keyword — Only forward messages containing certain keywords

All filters are optional. Leave them empty to forward everything.

Validating webhooks​

Before saving a rule, you can click Validate to test the webhook URL. This sends a test message to confirm the endpoint is reachable and working.

Forwarding to multiple Discord webhooks​

A single Discord rule can target several webhook URLs. In the rule's Discord webhook URLs field, paste each webhook URL and press Enter — each one becomes a chip. When the rule matches a message, it's forwarded to every URL in the list.

  • The rule's username and avatar apply to all URLs (one shared identity).
  • You need at least one valid Discord webhook URL — invalid URLs are rejected on save, and duplicates are removed automatically.
  • Deliveries run concurrently, so adding more webhooks doesn't noticeably slow the rule down.
  • A webhook that fails is retried on its own, without re-sending to the URLs that already succeeded.

Rules created with a single webhook URL continue to work and are upgraded to the multi-URL format the next time you save them.

Using Copycord as a forwarder only​

You don't need to clone a full server to use message forwarding. If you only want to forward messages to external services without mirroring a server, you can run Copycord in a forwarder-only setup:

  1. Set up Copycord as normal with your Client Token and Server Token
  2. Create a guild mapping with any server as the source and your bot's server as the clone (this is a shell mapping — it just needs to exist)
  3. In the mapping settings, disable Enable Cloning to turn off all channel/role/message cloning
  4. Set up your forwarding rules on the Forwarding page

With cloning disabled, Copycord won't create channels, webhooks, or forward messages to the clone server. The client will still monitor the source server and your forwarding rules will fire normally — giving you a lightweight message forwarder without any of the cloning overhead.

Use cases​

  • Notifications — Get Telegram/Pushover alerts when someone mentions a keyword
  • Archival — Forward all messages to a separate Discord server for redundancy
  • Monitoring — Watch for specific users or topics across multiple servers
  • Integration — Pipe Discord messages into your own tools via webhooks
