Documented steps
POST /channels/{channel_id}/webhooks (API v10, bot token auth) with body {"name": "..."} — name must be 1-80 characters; requires MANAGE_WEBHOOKS permission
The response contains the webhook 'id' and 'token'
Execute with POST /webhooks/{webhook_id}/{webhook_token} — no Authorization header needed; the token in the URL is the credential
Body supports content, embeds, username/avatar_url overrides — same message shape as channel messages
Append ?wait=true to get the created message object back synchronously; default (wait=false) returns 204 immediately without confirming persistence
Official docs: https://docs.discord.com/developers/resources/webhook
Known gotchas
Anyone with the webhook URL can post to the channel — treat the full URL as a secret
With wait=false a failed delivery is silent; use wait=true when you need the message id or delivery confirmation
Creating the webhook returns 403 if the bot lacks MANAGE_WEBHOOKS in that channel
Webhook execution has its own rate limits — handle 429 + retry_after like any other route
