Syncing Xlog RSS to Discord#

Create a new "Agent" and select the RSS plugin as the Trigger.
In the configuration options of the "RSS Agent", set the "Feed URL" to the URL of your Xlog RSS Feed.
Configure the "Post Agent" plugin as the Action and follow Discord's instructions to create a new Webhook to submit the RSS Feed data to Discord.
Copy the "Webhook URL" to the configuration option of "Webhook".

 {
  "post_url": "your discord webhook url",
  "expected_receive_period_in_days": "1",
  "content_type": "form",
  "method": "post",
  "payload": {
    "key": "value",
    "something": "the event contained {{ somekey }}"
  },
  "headers": {},
  "emit_events": "false",
  "no_merge": "false",
  "output_mode": "clean"
}

Configure the "Webhook Payload" option to convert each item you get from the RSS Feed into a format that Discord can understand.
Edit the "Webhook Payload" option and set it to JSON format containing the appropriate data. For example:

  {

    "embeds": [{

      "title": "{{title}}",

      "description": "{{description}}",

      "url": "{{url}}",

      "author": {"name": "Xlog RSS"},

      "timestamp": "{{pubDate}}"

    }]

  }

Test and enable your Agent.
