How do you make a discord bot respond without commands (but in python)?

Question

I want to make a bot in discord that, when you send it a string of some sort, or an event happens, it'll send a message to a discord channel. However, when I tried adding an "input" function (the simplest there is), it couldn't work at all. What other ways are there to input strings into programs like this?

Answer 1

You can use webhooks to do this.

First, you should install the discord_webhook module by running pip install discord_webhook into the terminal. Now, you can write your program. This is a very simple example:

from discord_webhook import DiscordWebhook

url = # Put webhook url here...
webhook = DiscordWebhook(url=f'{url}', content=input('Enter a message: '))
response = webhook.execute()

You should replace the url variable with your webhook link. In case you don't know how to get a webhook link, this is an example on how to do it:

If you don't know anything about discord bots, freeCodeCamp did an amazing video on it. Look that up. They are amazing.
