Introduction

Once you choose Discord as the notification service in GoSMTP settings, you'll find a field to add Discord Webhook URL. Generate the Webhook URL in your Discord account and paste it there. This connects GoSMTP with Discord, enabling you to receive notifications on Discord whenever a email delivery failure occurs.
