Clips in Discord

How do I get my clips into Discord automatically?

Paste one link from your Discord channel into SnapDub. Every time a video finishes, the channel gets a message with the best clips, their scores and a preview, so the whole team sees them without logging in.

Works on every plan, the free one too. No bot to invite, nothing to install.

What lands in the channel?

One message for each finished video, from SnapDub, in the channel you picked.

How do I connect it?

Three steps, about a minute. You need the Manage Webhooks permission on the server.

  1. Make a webhook in Discord

    Hover the channel you want the clips in and click the gear (Edit Channel). Go to Integrations, then Webhooks, and press New Webhook.

  2. Copy its link

    Press Copy Webhook URL. The name and picture you give it don't matter, the messages come as SnapDub.

  3. Paste it in SnapDub

    In Settings, Notifications, under In Discord, paste the link, name the channel if you like (for example #clips on Agency) and press Add channel. A test message lands right away, so you see it works.

Who is it for?

Anyone who talks about clips in Discord rather than inside an editor.

Clipping teams

Everyone sees each finished video the moment it is ready, without logging in or asking who has the account. A moderator picks the clips to post right from the channel.

Agencies

Clips show up where your editors and clients already talk. Add a second channel for the people who approve, and both see the same video at the same time.

Streamers

Clip your VODs and let your mods see the best moments as soon as they are cut, in your own server, so posting them is one message away.

Do I need a Discord bot for this?

No. A webhook does the job, and it is the lighter of the two.

A clip bot

  • Someone has to invite it to the server
  • It asks for permissions across the server
  • One more member in the list
  • One more thing to set up and keep an eye on

SnapDub in Discord

  • Nothing to invite and nothing to install
  • Writes to one channel only, the one whose link you pasted
  • Arrives as SnapDub, with its own name and picture
  • Stop it any time: remove it in Settings or delete the webhook in Discord

Want each finished video to do more?

Send the clips to Slack, write them into a sheet or post them on a schedule with n8n, Zapier or Make. If you write code, the clipping API sends every clip with its download link the moment a video is done.

Discord questions

Clips in Discord: common questions

Does it work on the free plan?

Yes. Discord messages work on every plan, the free one included.

Can I send the clips to more than one channel?

Yes. Add as many channels as you like, each with its own webhook link, and every finished video shows up in all of them.

Does it post the video files?

It posts the title, how many clips are ready, the best three with their scores and length, and a preview picture of the best one. The clips themselves open with one click in SnapDub, where you watch, edit and download them.

What if a video fails?

The channel gets a message with the reason, and the credits for that video go back to your balance, so nobody has to go and check.

Do I need to own the Discord server?

No, the Manage Webhooks permission on that server is enough. In SnapDub, the workspace owner or an admin adds the channel.

How do I stop the messages?

Remove the channel in Settings, Notifications, or delete the webhook in Discord. Either one stops them right away.
