Message Format in Discord
Forwarded messages appear like this in Discord:

Server Ideas for SMS Forwarding
Personal notifications server: Create a private Discord server just for yourself with channels like #sms-otp, #sms-deliveries, #sms-bank — and filter messages into the right channel.
Dev team alerts: Forward SMS from monitoring and alerting services to your #ops-alerts channel.
Gaming community: If your group coordinates via phone, pipe those texts into your Discord server’s #coordination channel.
Forwarding to Multiple Discord Channels
Create separate webhooks for each channel and add each as its own destination in Fwrdly. Combine with keyword filters to route different messages to different channels automatically.
Example routing:
- “verification code” →
#otp-codes - “delivery” or “shipped” →
#deliveries - Everything else →
#sms-general
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a server admin? You need the Manage Webhooks permission. Server admins can grant this to specific roles.
Can I forward to a Discord DM? Discord doesn’t support incoming webhooks for DMs. You can create a private server just for yourself as a workaround.
What’s the Discord message rate limit? Discord allows up to 30 webhook requests per minute. If you receive SMS faster than this (unusual), Fwrdly queues and spaces them out.
Will the messages look like a bot? Yes — webhook messages appear from a bot user. You can customize the bot’s name and avatar in the webhook settings on Discord.
Does this work on Discord free plan? Yes. Webhooks are a free feature available on all Discord servers.
