Tim Kracht : Hello Back again like a Bad Penny, I am wondering can I somehow connect up to Discord and send a message as myself rather than the Bot?

Danny Roosevelt : Hi I’m looking through Discord’s API documentation and I’m not seeing this documented anywhere

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Danny is correct, and this is by design. Discord specifically doesn’t allow you to automate messages using your own user. You have to use a bot. Definitely reach out to Discord to request it, though! I’m sure that feedback will help them think about it more
