By utilizing the Discord API, you can manage and operate servers, channels, messages, users, roles, and more. Among these, automating message sending is particularly in demand. You can set up notifications in Discord by integrating with various application APIs, ranging from general ones like databases, other chat tools, and email software, to those for specific business purposes like CRM, SFA, and HR systems.
For example, it is recommended for automatic notifications when information is added to a database, forwarding received emails, or sharing new lead registration information with stakeholders. Conversely, there are also uses such as synchronizing the content of messages received on Discord with other applications using the Discord API.

Notify Database Information
By using the Discord API, notifications are automatically sent when information is registered or updated in the database, or when comments are posted.
When multiple people are collaboratively editing a database, it is common to communicate changes within the team to prevent missing information or delays in subsequent processing due to unnoticed data additions or updates. However, if this communication is done manually, there is a risk of time-consuming transcription, input errors, or sharing omissions. Automating it can reduce these risks.
Additionally, using Yoom's AI operation function, you can summarize the registered content of the database to notify only the key points, or use schedule triggers to list and notify the reports issued on the day. Please utilize it according to the type of database and business content.

Notify Information Received via Other Chat Tools or Email
By using the APIs of chat tools and email software along with the Discord API, you can forward received messages and email content to Discord. This is useful when you want to quickly share information from customers using other communication methods or when you need to use multiple tools for information sharing due to work requirements.
With Yoom's AI operations, you can also translate received messages before notifying. This enables smooth information sharing in multilingual environments where interactions with overseas offices or customers are frequent. Additionally, if you replace translation with summary operations, you can grasp only the key points of messages, which can be useful when you want to focus on tasks that require more time.

In order to manage a wide range of tasks with a small team, I was constantly exploring ways to improve efficiency, such as creating Excel templates. If I had access to Yoom at that time, I believe the level of efficiency would have been incomparable. Drawing on these past experiences, I am committed to sharing information that will be beneficial to everyone.
