DashCord: A headless Discord bridge with Sticky UI Panels and Base64 File Fanning

Built with n8n
1

Hi n8n community,

I’ve always found the native Discord triggers a bit limiting for complex UIs, especially when handling binary data or keeping buttons accessible in a busy channel.

I built DashCord to act as a dedicated middleware between Discord and n8n. It allows you to define “Dashboards” (Sticky UI button panels) and prefix commands (!deploy, !status) entirely via a JSON config.

Why n8n users might like this:

  1. Binary Handling: It automatically converts Discord attachments to Base64 and sends them in the webhook body.

  2. Persistence: It can be configured to keep your UI panels at the bottom of the channel automatically.

  3. Security: Secures every outbound request with a custom X-DashCord-Token header for easy validation in your Webhook nodes.

Hope this helps some of you simplify your Discord pipelines!
