Fix Missing Discord Channel Permissions
Use this guide if NotiCord says it cannot send in a Discord channel yet, if the viewer needs access, or if the app shows missing channel permissions.
Add or reconnect the bot
The Discord account that adds or reconnects NotiCord must be the server owner or have Manage Server permission. This is required for the server install step. Normal use after setup depends on the bot's channel permissions below.
Required permissions
| Surface | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Notifications, previews, and published panels | View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, and Send Messages in Threads |
| Pasted Notion link previews | View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links (plus Send Messages in Threads when the message is in a thread) |
| Discord viewer | View Channel and Read Message History |
Fix the permissions in Discord
- Right-click the target channel in Discord.
- Click Edit Channel → Permissions.
- Add NotiCord if it is not already listed.
- Enable the permissions that surface needs.
Check whether the category controls the channel
If the channel shows Synced, fix the parent category. If it does not show Synced, fix the channel itself.
If the channel is gone or inaccessible
The same warning can also mean the channel was deleted, moved to an unsupported type, or the bot lost access to that part of the server.
In that case, either restore access in Discord or choose a different channel in NotiCord.
Try again in NotiCord
After fixing the channel:
- Return to NotiCord.
- Click Recheck permissions if that action is shown.
- Reopen the channel picker or save the form again if needed.
- If a notification rule was auto-paused, turn it back on from the rule list.
If the rule is still blocked after that, use Notifications are not sending.
