How to use the Readwise Discord Bot
The Readwise Discord bot enables server members to easily save messages—including links, images, and even threaded conversations—to their Readwise Library for later.
This bot also creates a sleek, auto-updating RSS feed of links shared in the server, allowing you to stay up-to-date on interesting links shared in your communities and easily jump back in to discuss. This bot is 100% free and requires no Readwise subscription to enjoy.
➡️ Head here for instructions on how to install the bot in a server.
How to save messages inside Discord
To save a message to your private DMs for easy future reference, simply react with a bookmark emoji 🔖 in a server where the Readwise bot is installed. It will automatically DM you a copy of the message for safekeeping. This is completely free.
How to save messages to Readwise
You can also optionally save any message to your Readwise account by using the floppy disk emoji 💾instead of the bookmark.
How to add tags to saved messages
If you want to add a tag (in Readwise) to a saved message, you can reply to that message with a word beginning with a period . (the same as an inline tag with any service that Readwise supports). For example, .ai will be turned into an AI tag.
How to add notes to saved messages
If you want to add a note in Readwise to a saved message, you can reply to that message via DM with your note.
How to take notes with Quick Passages
If you want to jot down a quick passage in your Readwise account that will be resurfaced like any other highlight, you can send a DM to the Readwise bot. The message will be added to your default Quick Passages “book” in Readwise.
Where to find saved messages in Readwise
Once you’ve connected your Readwise account, you can find your saved Discord messages in the Tweets section of your Readwise Dashboard.
How to find your server’s custom feed aggregator
Use the slash command /url in any server where the Readwise bot is installed to find the link to that server's Hacker News link aggregator.
How to find your server’s RSS feed link
Use the slash command /rss in any server where the Readwise bot is installed to find the link to that server's RSS feed. When opened in a browser, this won't look like much, but if you add that RSS link to your favorite feed aggregator, you'll see your favorite Discord links come through.
Pro tip: If you're a Reader user, you can add this URL to your Feed so you can get important Discord conversations piped directly into your favorite reading app 😉
How to use the Readwise Bot in other servers
You can click the bot's name in a server where it's installed and select Add to Server, or you can install the Readwise Bot via https://readwise.gg/.
