TradingView to Discord webhook JSON

Discord posts a webhook only when the body is JSON with content or embeds, so one unquoted placeholder stops the alert. Build the message, check it as you type, and see the text Discord will post.

Updated 23 October 2026. Runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.

Send to

Alert from

Alert message, as typed in TradingView's Message box

Placeholders for any alert

Strategy alerts only

Text placeholders go in quotes; a placeholder added outside a string comes with them.

Discord, strategy alert

Valid JSON: TradingView sends it as application/json

Nothing to fix. This is the Discord preset for a strategy.

What Discord receives

Content-Type: application/json, with sample values in place of the placeholders.

{
  "username": "TradingView alerts",
  "content": "NQ1!: buy 2 at 18342.25, now long"
}

Where it goes

Webhook URL: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN Copy the webhook URL Discord gives you for the channel.
The secret: In the URL: its last part is the webhook's token, and anyone holding the URL can post to the channel.

A message needs at least one of content or embeds; content takes up to 2,000 characters and embeds up to 10.
Discord wants a JSON, form or multipart Content-Type and answers anything else with error 50035, Invalid form body; so a message that is not valid JSON, which TradingView sends as text/plain, does not post.

From Discord's docs, read 23 October 2026: execute webhook, Content-Type rules.

Or build it in Pine, so the JSON is never inside other JSON

In the alert: Order fills only, and nothing but {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the Message box. Each order passes the whole message as alert_message, with its own buy or sell.

//@version=6
strategy("Webhook message", overlay = true)

// Your own rules go here; this example crosses two averages.
fast = ta.sma(close, 10)
slow = ta.sma(close, 30)
qty = 1

// The whole message, built here. In the alert: Order fills only, and nothing but
// {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the Message box.
webhookMessage(string action, string id, string position) =>
    string m = '{'
    m += '"username": "TradingView alerts",'
    m += '"content": "' + syminfo.ticker + ': ' + action + ' ' + str.tostring(qty) + ' at ' + str.tostring(close) + ', now ' + position + '"'
    m += '}'
    m

if ta.crossover(fast, slow)
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty, alert_message = webhookMessage("buy", "Long", "long"))
if ta.crossunder(fast, slow)
    strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short, qty, alert_message = webhookMessage("sell", "Short", "short"))

The code for every preset compiles on TradingView with no errors or warnings. Put your own entry rules in place of the two averages, then check the script for repaint risks.

What Discord reads

Format: JSON; it needs at least one of "content", "embeds".
Webhook URL: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN Copy the webhook URL Discord gives you for the channel.
The secret: In the URL: its last part is the webhook's token, and anyone holding the URL can post to the channel.

The two starting messages

From a strategy

{
  "username": "TradingView alerts",
  "content": "{{ticker}}: {{strategy.order.action}} {{strategy.order.contracts}} at {{strategy.order.price}}, now {{strategy.market_position}}"
}

From an indicator

{
  "username": "TradingView alerts",
  "content": "{{ticker}} closed at {{close}} on the {{interval}} chart ({{timenow}})"
}

From Discord's own docs, read 23 October 2026: execute webhook, Content-Type rules.

TradingView's side of a webhook

Plan and 2FA: Webhook notifications are on Essential, Plus, Premium, Ultimate, not on the free Basic plan (pricing table), and webhook alerts are allowed only with two-factor authentication turned on.
Content-Type: application/json when the message is valid JSON, text/plain otherwise. TradingView sends a POST with the message as the body.
IP addresses to allowlist: 52.89.214.238, 34.212.75.30, 54.218.53.128, 52.32.178.7. Over HTTPS TradingView also sends a client certificate for webhook-server@tradingview.com (webhook authentication).
Ports, IPv6 and time: Ports 80 and 443 only; no IPv6; no localhost or private addresses. A request your server takes more than three seconds to answer is cancelled, and a 500 to 599 answer other than 504 is sent again after 5 seconds, up to 3 times (resubmission).
Message length: 4,000 characters in the alert's Message box; 40,960 from alert() or alert_message. The body has the same limits, and an emoji counts as several characters (size limits).
Secrets: TradingView asks you not to put login credentials or passwords in the webhook URL or message (credentials for webhooks).

Other receivers

TradingView to TradersPost webhook JSON JSON with ticker and action; the password is in the webhook URL.
TradingView to PineConnector alert message Comma-separated text, not JSON; the License ID leads the message.
TradingView to CrossTrade webhook JSON Flat JSON or key=value; text; the Secret Key goes in the message.
TradingView to 3Commas Signal Bot JSON v2 Signal Bot JSON; the v1 secret and bot_uuid format is retired.
TradingView to Telegram webhook JSON JSON with chat_id and text; the bot token is in the URL.
Custom JSON for your own server and TradingView's placeholders in full.

Method and privacy

Method: Runs in your browser. The message is read as JSON with each TradingView placeholder as one token, typed as text or a number from TradingView's placeholder list, then read again by a JSON parser with sample values in their place. Discord's rules come from its own docs, and TradingView's from its pages, both read 23 October 2026. It cannot see your Discord settings or whether an alert was delivered: send a test alert before you trade on it.

Calculations run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded. Your last numbers stay in this browser so you can pick up where you left off; Forget them clears them. A link with your numbers carries them after the # sign, which browsers do not send to servers, and the page takes them out of the address before any analytics loads. Copy and download actions save your calculation locally. The site may record coarse tool actions under its privacy policy, without inputs, results, file contents or filenames.

Common questions

What JSON does a Discord webhook need?

At least one of content, embeds, components, file or poll. content takes up to 2,000 characters and embeds is an array of up to 10. The shortest useful message is {"content": "{{ticker}} closed at {{close}}"}.

Why does my TradingView alert not post to Discord?

Most often the message is not valid JSON, so TradingView sends it as text/plain, and Discord's API answers a Content-Type other than JSON, form or multipart with error 50035, Invalid form body. A text placeholder outside quotes, a curly quote or a trailing comma is enough.

Is a Discord webhook URL secret?

Yes. Its last part is the webhook's token, and a Discord webhook needs no other authentication, so anyone holding the URL can post to the channel.
