Messaging
Discord
Post Atlas notifications to Discord servers and let community members convert messages into tasks.
What this connector does

- Run slash commands such as /atlas to create tasks from chat.
- Read message context when a member explicitly converts a message.
- Respect Discord server permission overrides for visibility.
Before you begin
- You are a Discord server owner.
- You can add bots to the server.
- You have a test server for first validation.
