CDE CAD FiveM Discord Integration: Bots, Webhooks & OAuth Login

Learn how CDE CAD FiveM integrates with Discord through OAuth login, role syncing, webhook notifications, bot commands, and automated alerts for your FiveM server.

Discord is the communication hub for nearly every FiveM community. Your members are already there, your departments coordinate there, and your announcements go out there. CDE CAD FiveM integrates directly with Discord to eliminate the friction between your communication platform and your dispatch system. Instead of maintaining separate accounts and checking multiple tabs, officers and dispatchers can authenticate with Discord, receive alerts in their channels, and even run CAD commands without leaving the chat.

The CDE CAD FiveM Discord integration covers four major areas: OAuth-based login that lets members sign in with their Discord accounts, automatic role synchronization that maps Discord roles to CAD permissions, webhook notifications that push real-time alerts to your channels, and a bot command system that brings CAD functionality directly into Discord conversations. Each component works independently, so you can enable just what your server needs.

Discord Integration Features

Setting Up Discord OAuth Login

Discord OAuth login is the foundation of the CDE CAD FiveM Discord integration. Once configured, your members can sign into the CAD with a single click using their existing Discord accounts. No separate passwords to remember, no registration forms to fill out. The setup process takes about five minutes and requires access to both the Discord Developer Portal and the CDE CAD admin panel.

Automatic Role Synchronization

Managing permissions manually across both Discord and the CAD system is tedious and error-prone. The role synchronization feature in CDE CAD FiveM eliminates this problem by automatically mapping Discord roles to CAD permission groups. When you promote someone in Discord, their CAD permissions update automatically. When you remove a role, their access adjusts accordingly. There is no delay and no manual intervention required.

The mapping system is flexible enough to handle complex permission hierarchies. A single Discord role can map to multiple CAD permission groups, and multiple Discord roles can map to the same CAD group. For example, you might map both your Police Officer and Detective Discord roles to the Law Enforcement CAD group while mapping your Police Chief role to both Law Enforcement and Administration groups. The system evaluates all of a user's Discord roles and grants the union of all mapped permissions.

Role synchronization runs at login time and can also be triggered manually from the admin panel. If you make bulk role changes in Discord, you can force a resync for all users to ensure CDE CAD FiveM permissions are up to date. The admin panel shows a clear audit log of every role-based permission change, so you always know why a user has specific access levels.

Webhook Notification System

Webhook notifications push real-time CAD events to your Discord channels as rich embedded messages. Every significant event in CDE CAD FiveM can trigger a webhook, and you control exactly which events go to which channels. This keeps your Discord community informed about active operations without requiring everyone to have the CAD open at all times.

Each webhook message is formatted as a Discord embed with color coding, field labels, and timestamps. The embeds are designed to be scannable at a glance so officers can quickly assess whether an alert requires their attention. Webhook URLs are configured per channel in the CDE CAD FiveM admin panel, and you can test each webhook with a single click to verify the connection before going live.

Bot Command Reference

The CDE CAD FiveM Discord bot brings CAD functionality directly into your Discord channels. Officers can check statuses, run lookups, and even create 911 calls without switching to the CAD interface. Each command respects the same permission structure as the web interface, so users can only access data they are authorized to see. Here is the complete list of available bot commands:

Configuring Automated Alerts

Automated alerts are the glue that keeps your Discord community in sync with CDE CAD FiveM operations. Beyond the standard webhook notifications, you can configure automated alerts that trigger based on specific conditions. For example, you might set up an alert that pings a specific Discord role when a high-priority 911 call goes unanswered for more than two minutes. Or an alert that notifies department leadership when a panic button is activated.

Alert configuration is handled through the admin panel under the Discord integration section. Each alert rule consists of a trigger event, optional conditions, a target Discord channel, and an optional role mention. You can create as many alert rules as needed, and they can be enabled or disabled individually without deleting the configuration. The system also supports alert cooldowns to prevent notification fatigue during high-activity periods.
