Invalid credentials error with @jordanburke/n8n-nodes-discord community node

Questions

Hi, I’m having trouble with the Discord community node.

Environment:

  • n8n version: 1.11.4 (Self Hosted)
  • Node: @jordanburke/n8n-nodes-discord

Issue:
I’m getting an “Invalid credentials” error even though the Bot Token and “MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT” are correctly set in the Discord Developer Portal. The node shows “credentials missing - Close and reopen this node modal once you have made changes.” and the “Channel” option is not visible in the “Send to” field.

Steps taken:

  1. Reset and updated Bot Token in n8n Credentials.
  2. Re-selected credentials in the node.
  3. Restarted n8n server and cleared browser cache.
  4. Deleted and re-added the Discord Send node.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi jin_karls! I’ve seen this with community nodes before. Since you’ve already cleared the cache, try these next steps:

  1. Remove and re-add the credential — Delete the Discord credential entirely from n8n Credentials, then create it fresh. Sometimes credentials get into a weird state.
  2. Check the node author’s repo — Does @jordanburke have any open issues about this in the community node repository? The credential mapping might have changed.
  3. Verify scope for Self-Hosted vs Cloud — If you’re testing on Cloud, the Discord app scopes/permissions might differ from Self-Hosted. Make sure your Discord app has all required intents and message permissions enabled.

If that doesn’t work, we might need more info — what’s the exact error message when you try to select the credentials dropdown? That’ll help identify if it’s a credential issue or a node UI bug.
