Let us explore how you can integrate OpenAI with Discord and automatically share the top news headlines of the day on the Discord channel of your choice using OpenAI.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first add a Schedule trigger to the workflow to set a specific time for posting the news, then link Pabbly Connect with OpenAI to capture the latest news, and lastly, share the news on Discord.
Steps to Automatically Share Top News Headlines on Discord using OpenAI
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Add Schedule as the Trigger App to Set Time to Post News
3. Add Date / Time Formatter to capture the Current Date
4. Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Latest News
5. Setup Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow

Step 2:- Add Schedule as the Trigger App to Set Time to Post News
Trigger is the app that executes the workflow. Since we want to post news and execute the workflow at a specific time, in our case it would be Schedule by Pabbly.
Choose ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ as the Trigger App, select how often you want to send the message, set a Date and time to execute the workflow, and click on ‘Save’.
Note: Make sure to check your Time Zone.
Step 3:- Add Date / Time Formatter to capture the Current Date
Let us now add a Date / Time Formatter to our workflow to fetch the current date and feed it to OpenAI to generate the latest news.
Choose ‘Date/Time Formatter by Pabbly’ as the Action App, select ‘Current Date’ as an Action App, and click on ‘Connect’.
Select a Basic Format, choose whether you want to Include Time in Response, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Step 4:- Setup OpenAI as the Action App to Generate Latest News
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Since we want to generate the latest news of the day using OpenAI – it will be our Action App.
Add another Action step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.
