docs/using-seerr/notifications/discord.md
Documents optional Thread ID behavior for webhook notifications. Reformats the Notification Language description without changing its text.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ede0b

The new Discord Thread ID documentation enables thread-specific notification routing, but it omits the webhook-channel scope requirement. Users could select a thread from another channel and experience failed notification delivery.

Poem

A rabbit checked the Discord guide
Threaded messages now know where to hide
Blank threads stay in the channel bright
Language text sits neat and right
Documentation hops into the night

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.discord.com/developers/resources/webhook thread_id webhook channel thread

💡 Result:

In the context of platform APIs, specifically Discord, the thread_id parameter is used to send a message to a specific thread within a channel using a webhook [1]. When using Discord webhooks, the thread_id functions as follows: 1. Targetting a Thread: By providing the thread_id in the webhook request (either as a query string parameter or within the JSON body), you can direct a message into an existing thread [1]. 2. Forum/Media Channels: If the webhook is configured for a forum or media channel, you must provide either a thread_id to post in an existing thread or a thread_name to create a new thread [1]. 3. Unarchiving: When a message is sent to a thread via its thread_id, the thread will automatically be unarchived if it was previously archived [1]. While other platforms may have different implementations for webhooks and threading, the term thread_id is standard in API documentation for identifying the specific sub-conversation or container where a message should be delivered [1]. Always refer to the specific documentation for the service you are integrating with, as they may have unique requirements for threading, such as requiring specific permissions or limiting functionality compared to standard message posting [1].

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.discord.com/developers/resources/webhook thread_id webhook channel

💡 Result:

In the context of Discord webhooks, a thread_id is a parameter used to specify that a message should be sent to a specific thread within a webhook's channel [1]. When executing a webhook, providing a thread_id allows the message to be delivered directly into an existing thread, which will automatically unarchive if it was previously archived [1]. For channels that support threads, such as forum or media channels, it is often required to provide either a thread_id (to send to an existing thread) or a thread_name (to create a new thread) when sending a message [1]. The thread_id can be passed as a query string parameter or within the request body, depending on the specific implementation requirements [1].

Document the thread scope.

When webhookThreadId is set, Discord sends the request with thread_id. State that the thread must belong to the webhook's channel; another channel's thread can cause the request to fail and the notification not to be delivered.
