Guide

Set Up Prolific Discord Alerts.

Create a private Discord webhook, connect it to StudyChime, test Prolific study alerts, and fix common channel notification problems.

StudyChime can send matching Prolific study alerts to a Discord channel using a Discord webhook.

A Discord webhook is a special URL for one Discord channel. When StudyChime sends an alert to that URL, the message appears in the channel you chose.

Before you start

You will need:

  • StudyChime installed
  • access to a Discord server
  • permission to manage webhooks in that server
  • a Discord text channel where you want alerts to appear

If you do not own the server, you may need to ask a server admin to create the webhook for you.

Create a Discord webhook

  1. Open Discord.
  2. Open the server where you want StudyChime alerts to appear.
  3. Open Server Settings.
  4. Go to Integrations.
  5. Open the Webhooks section.
  6. Click New Webhook.
  7. Give the webhook a clear name, such as StudyChime.
  8. Choose the channel where StudyChime alerts should be posted.
  9. Click Copy Webhook URL.

Keep the webhook URL private. Anyone with this URL can post messages to that Discord channel.

Add the webhook to StudyChime

  1. Open StudyChime from the Chrome toolbar.
  2. Open Settings.
  3. Open Alerts.
  4. Find Discord.
  5. Paste the Discord webhook URL into the Webhook URL field.
  6. Enable Discord alerts.
  7. Select Save alert settings.

You can also configure Discord during Quick start if you select it at the alert chooser. Chrome requests Discord permission only when you configure or test this destination.

Send a test alert

After saving the webhook:

  1. Click Send Discord test in Settings → Alerts.
  2. Open the Discord channel you selected.
  3. Confirm that a StudyChime test message appears.

If the test message appears, Discord alerts are configured correctly.

Before relying on Discord alerts

  • Use a private channel you control because alerts can contain the study title, pay, estimated time, places, and link.
  • Treat the webhook URL like a password. If it is exposed, delete it in Discord and create a replacement.
  • StudyChime Free allows 10 external alert batches per rolling 24-hour period, shared across Discord, Telegram, and Pushover. Premium removes this StudyChime limit.
  • With Premium, you can add a secure Snooze alerts link to new-study alerts. See Remote snooze setup.

If Discord alerts are not working

Check the following:

  • the Discord webhook URL was copied correctly
  • Discord alerts are enabled in StudyChime
  • StudyChime settings were saved
  • the webhook still exists in Discord
  • the webhook is assigned to the correct Discord channel
  • StudyChime can send a test alert
  • you have not reached the 10-batch limit for the current rolling 24-hour period

If needed, create a new Discord webhook and replace the old URL in StudyChime settings.

Changing the Discord channel

To send alerts to a different Discord channel, either:

  • edit the webhook in Discord and change its channel, or
  • create a new webhook for the new channel and paste the new webhook URL into StudyChime

After changing the webhook, send another test alert.

Removing Discord alerts

To stop Discord alerts:

  1. Open StudyChime settings.
  2. Open Alerts.
  3. Disable Discord alerts or remove the webhook URL.
  4. Select Save alert settings.

You can also delete the webhook from Discord if you no longer want it to be usable.
