How to forward iPhone text messages to Discord

Description and use

Automatically forward iPhone SMS to Discord using a webhook, the Fwrd app, and a Shortcuts automation.

Problem

iPhone cannot automatically send text messages to another app, so users need a way to forward SMS to a Discord channel without manual intervention.

Outcome

SMS messages that meet the specified criteria are posted to the chosen Discord channel automatically, even when the iPhone is locked, provided the automation is enabled and the phone remains online.

Workflow

• Create a Discord webhook for the target channel using a computer or browser.
• Copy the webhook URL and store it securely on the iPhone.
• Add the Discord webhook to the Fwrd app and test the connection.
• Create a Message automation in Shortcuts, selecting the trigger (e.g., Message Contains a keyword or a single space).
• Configure the automation to run without confirmation and to use Fwrd’s Forward Message to All Destinations action.
• Set the action’s Message field to Shortcut Input.
• Save the automation. From now on, matching SMS messages are forwarded to Discord automatically.

Evidence

To forward iPhone texts to Discord automatically, create a webhook for a Discord channel, paste it into Fwrd on your iPhone, and add a Message automation in Apple’s Shortcuts app.

From then on, every text that matches your rule posts to that channel straight from your iPhone, without you opening anything.

The iPhone has to stay on and online.

Fwrd keeps the URL in the iPhone’s Keychain rather than in plain sight inside a shortcut.
