Discord Bots & Lore automation for supported NFT collections

Hyy.pe introduces a new way for supported NFT communities to automate lore feed right into existing discord servers.

How does it work?

Tl;dr: This is made possible with the built-in functionality Discord provides known as Webhooks. It is an easy way to get automated messages and updates sent to a text channel in your server.

By creating a webhook endpoint in your server, you’ll generate a Webhook URL which you will then be able to provide to the Hyy.pe team to enable the integration for you. Later on, Hyy.pe will provide a self-service console for Community owners to do this on their own.

Let’s Get Started

  1. Open your Server Settings and head into the Integrations tab:
  2. Click the “Create Webhook” button to create a new webhook!

At this point, you can do a few things:

  • Edit the avatar: We all want our discord bots to be extra creative and sharp! You can customize the avatar of your bot by clicking the avatar next to the Name in the top left.
  • Choose what channel the Webhook bot posts to: If you don’t have a channel already for this — you can create a new channel in your server with appropriate permissions and then select the desired text channel in the dropdown menu. (displayed below)
  • Name your Webhook: Again, spice up your webhook bot personality by giving it a name. Maybe it's your Lore Manager! Generally, it is also a good practice for distinguishing multiple webhooks for multiple different platforms like Hyy.pe as your server grows big.
Captain Hook is getting fancy, lads! Arrrrr

3. Now you will go ahead and grab the webhook URL for this channel by pressing the Copy Webhook URL button.

4. Once you have the Discord-generated Webhook-URL, please reach out to the Hyy.pe team over discord to enable the integration. Once the integration goes live, usually takes a few minutes — You will have an automated message in your channel every time your community writes a new Lore about their NFT.

5. That’s it! Show off those Lores to the world.

What does a Hyy.pe Lore message look like in a channel?

Every Automated message will contain information like:

  • Lore Author name & link to their profile
  • Lore media (images etc)
  • NFT link
  • Lore preview text and link to the Hyy.pe lore page
  • Timestamp of when the lore was posted

FAQ

Are the lore messages configurable at the moment?

In our existing Iteration, the format of how the lore messages appear remain standardized. As we introduce a more self-service customizable way to manage Hyy.pe related Webhooks, we will enable customizing this data as well.

Are they real-time?

Yes, indeed! Lore is posted almost immediately when someone adds lore to their NFT.

Is this safe?

Yes! Webhooks are a safe, easily-revokable, configurable way to enable quick automated posts to your defined text channels in discord communities.

⚠️ Note: Do not share your Webhook URL with any un-intended audience as the Webhook can programmatically post messages in that channel.

Don’t see your NFT community listed on Hyy.pe? 👀

We are expanding to as many collections as fast as we can. We are actively seeking partners in the NFT community, and if you would like to work together, please join our discord and reach out!
