The D2T Auto Forward system at [discordtotelegram.com](https://discordtotelegram.com) handles text, images, embeds, and file attachments without custom code or webhook configuration. *** ## TL;DR Create a Discord-to-Discord task at [discordtotelegram.com](https://discordtotelegram.com). Paste a message link from the source channel to auto-extract identifiers, select the destination channel, then enable sync for attachments, edits, and deletions. The bot requires Read Message History in the source and Send Messages in the destination. Setup completes in under five minutes. *** ## What Is Discord-to-Discord Forwarding? Discord-to-Discord forwarding copies messages from a source Discord channel to a destination Discord channel in real time through the D2T Auto Forward bot. This feature supports text, images, videos, embeds, and file attachments without requiring custom code or webhook configuration. The system applies Blacklist, Whitelist, and Replace filters to control message flow. Multiple source-to-destination pairs operate simultaneously from a single dashboard at discordtotelegram.com. Platinum plan subscribers access advanced regex filtering and user-based Blacklist rules. Messages forward within 1-3 seconds under normal conditions. Discord enforces a rate limit of approximately five messages per five seconds per channel, which D2T Auto Forward respects automatically. The bot preserves original markdown formatting, embeds, and link previews when the destination channel has Embed Links permission. Reply context appears above forwarded text when enabled. Reactions display as text counts on Platinum plans. Stickers convert to placeholder text. Threads and forum posts receive partial support. The feature works across servers or within the same server. The bot must be a member of both source and destination servers with appropriate permissions. *** ## How Do I Create a Discord-to-Discord Task? Open [discordtotelegram.com](https://discordtotelegram.com) and sign in with the registered account. Click Tasks in the left menu, then tap Add New Task. Select Discord as both the source and destination platforms. In Discord, right-click any message in the source channel and select Copy Message Link. Paste this link into the D2T setup form. The app auto-extracts the server ID, channel ID, and message ID. Choose the target Discord channel where forwarded messages will appear. Toggle Attachments to forward images, videos, and files. Enable Edit Sync to update forwarded messages when the original changes. Enable Delete Sync to remove forwarded messages when the original is deleted. Tap Create Task, then toggle the task switch to ON. Messages begin forwarding within seconds. ![D2T Auto Forward mobile Select Type screen showing the Discord to Discord forwarding option selected above the Continue button](/files/fiCBQs5UFqDn4BM2UsKN) *Selecting the Discord-to-Discord task type in D2T Auto Forward. Users choose Discord to Discord, then tap Continue to start forwarding messages from one Discord channel to another.* The message link format follows this structure: `https://discord.com/channels/111111111/222222222/333333333`. The first number represents the server ID, the second is the channel ID, and the third is the message ID. No manual ID lookup is required. Mobile users long-press the message, tap Share, then select Copy Message Link. The dashboard supports unlimited tasks per account. Each task operates independently with its own filters and sync settings. *** ## What Discord Permissions Are Required? The D2T Auto Forward bot requires specific permissions in both source and destination channels. Missing permissions are the most common cause of setup failures. In the source server, the bot needs View Channel and Read Message History permissions. View Channel allows the bot to access the channel. Read Message History permits the bot to read existing and new messages. In the destination server, the bot requires Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, and Use External Emojis permissions. Send Messages allows the bot to post forwarded content. Embed Links preserves rich embeds and link previews. Attach Files forwards images, videos, and documents. Use External Emojis maintains custom emoji from the source. Verify permissions by opening Discord server settings, navigating to Roles, and selecting the bot role. Confirm all required permissions are enabled. If the bot was invited with insufficient permissions, re-invite it with the corrected OAuth2 scope. Use the Discord Developer Portal OAuth2 URL Generator to pre-select exact permissions before invitation. This prevents users from skipping required scopes. The bot must be a member of both servers regardless of whether they are public or private. *** ## How Do I Copy a Discord Message Link? A message link enables the D2T Auto Forward dashboard to auto-extract source channel data during setup. On desktop or web, right-click the message in Discord and select Copy Message Link. Paste the link into the D2T setup form. The link format is `https://discord.com/channels/111111111/222222222/333333333`. The app extracts the server ID, channel ID, and message ID automatically. No manual ID lookup is needed. On mobile, long-press the message, tap Share, then select Copy Message Link. ![Discord mobile app context menu showing the Copy Message Link option highlighted with a red arrow in a source channel](/files/bFqMug6Jch1MyRhrC0Kr) *Copying a Discord message link from the mobile app. Users long-press any message in the source channel and select Copy Message Link to provide D2T Auto Forward with the channel URL.* The message link contains three critical identifiers separated by slashes. The server ID identifies the Discord server. The channel ID specifies the exact channel within that server. The message ID points to the specific message used for extraction. This method works for any message in the source channel, including older messages. The dashboard validates the link format before processing. Invalid links trigger an error message prompting the user to copy the link again. This approach eliminates manual ID entry errors. *** ## What Content Types Does D2T Auto Forward Support? D2T Auto Forward supports most Discord message types with specific limitations. Plain text forwards with exact markdown preservation. Images in PNG, JPG, and GIF formats upload as native attachments. Videos in MP4 and MOV formats transfer as native attachments. Embeds and link previews forward when the destination has Embed Links permission. Reactions display as text counts on Platinum plans. Reply context shows the original replied-to message above forwarded text when enabled. Stickers convert to placeholder text. Thread messages outside the main channel are not captured. Forum posts forward only the first post, with replies treated as separate messages. User mentions convert to plain text unless the destination bot has permission to mention users. D2T Auto Forward converts @username to username by default to avoid broken mentions. This prevents mention errors when the bot lacks mention permissions. Voice messages and polls are not supported. Unsupported content types are silently skipped without error notifications. The system processes standard Discord message types across all supported formats. Content support varies by Discord API updates and D2T Auto Forward version. *** ## How Do I Apply Filters to a Task? Filters control which messages forward and how the system modifies them. Navigate to Tasks and click the Discord-to-Discord task. Scroll to the Filters section and click Add Filter. Select from existing Blacklist, Whitelist, or Replace rules. Tap Save to apply the filter. Blacklist filters block messages matching specific words, regex patterns, or users. Whitelist filters forward only messages matching defined criteria. Replace filters modify message content before forwarding. Topics filters add category tags to forwarded messages. ![D2T Auto Forward mobile task settings showing Features Config and the Filters section with Blacklist below the modify content options](/files/7Q2UigFfBEOEVGmJqLMw) *D2T Auto Forward mobile task settings with the Filters section below feature configuration. Users open Blacklist, Whitelist, Replace, and related task rules from this area to control Discord-to-Discord forwarding behavior.* Filters evaluate in a specific order: Blacklist, then Whitelist, then Replace, then Topics. A message blocked by Blacklist never reaches the Whitelist stage. This order ensures unwanted content is removed before any allowlist processing. Replace filters apply after the message passes both Blacklist and Whitelist checks. Topics tags append after all content modifications complete. Platinum plan users access advanced regex filtering and user-based Blacklist rules. Each task supports multiple filters of different types. Filter logs in the dashboard show which rules blocked specific messages. *** ## How Do I Troubleshoot Common Discord-to-Discord Issues? Most Discord-to-Discord issues fall into five categories. Diagnose them in this order for fastest resolution. First, verify the bot can read the source channel. Symptoms include no messages appearing in the destination. The fix requires confirming the bot is in the source server with View Channel and Read Message History permissions. Second, check if the bot can send to the destination channel. Symptoms show an active task with an empty destination. Verify Send Messages and Embed Links permissions in the destination channel. Third, address messages forwarded with broken formatting. Symptoms include missing markdown, embeds, or images. Check Attach Files and Embed Links permissions. Enable Forward Media in task settings. Fourth, investigate specific messages not forwarding. Symptoms show some messages arriving while others do not. Check if a Blacklist filter is blocking them. Review filter logs in the dashboard. Fifth, resolve tasks showing errors or stopping unexpectedly. Symptoms include the task toggling off or displaying a red error indicator. Verify the bot token is valid. Re-enter the token and test the connection. *** ## Related Guides * [How to Get a Discord Bot Token](/fundamentals/how-to-settings-for-task/get_discord_bot_token.md) * [How to Add a Discord Bot to a Server](/fundamentals/how-to-settings-for-task/how-to-add-discord-bot-to-server-discord.md) * [Whitelist: Create and Management](/fundamentals/whitelist-create-and-management.md) * [Blacklist: Create and Management](/fundamentals/blacklist-create-and-management.md) * [Replace: Create and Management](/fundamentals/replace-create-and-management.md) * [System Settings](/fundamentals/system-settings.md) *** ## Key Takeaways * Discord-to-Discord forwarding copies messages between channels in real time through the D2T Auto Forward bot. * The bot requires Read Message History in the source and Send Messages in the destination. * A Discord message link auto-extracts all required identifiers without manual ID lookup. * Blacklist, Whitelist, and Replace filters control which messages forward and how. * Setup completes in under five minutes at the discordtotelegram.com web dashboard. * Platinum plan users access advanced regex filtering and user-based Blacklist rules. *** ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I forward between two different Discord servers?** Yes.
