FiveM CAD Discord Bot: Role Sync, Webhooks & Automated Notifications

Discord Integration Overview

CDE CAD is deeply integrated with Discord. This is not an afterthought or a bolt-on feature - Discord is woven into the core architecture of the system. Every CDE CAD community maps directly to a Discord server. When you set up your CAD, you connect it to your Discord guild, and from that point forward the two systems work as one. The CDE CAD Discord bot handles role synchronization so your Discord roles automatically control CAD permissions. It sends webhook notifications to keep your team informed about reports, calls, and alerts. It provides OAuth-based single sign-on so your members never need to create a separate account. And it pushes automated alerts for panic buttons, 911 calls, BOLOs, and warrants directly to your Discord channels. If your community lives in Discord - and most FiveM communities do - CDE CAD meets you exactly where you are.

Discord OAuth Login

No separate registration is required. CDE CAD uses Discord OAuth2 for authentication, which means your members log in with their existing Discord account. There is no password to create, no email verification to complete, and no registration form to fill out. Users click the login button, see Discord's consent screen, authorize the connection, and they are in. The entire process takes about five seconds.

Behind the scenes, the OAuth2 flow does more than just authenticate the user. It reads guild membership information, which tells the CAD system which Discord servers the user belongs to. This is how CDE CAD automatically determines community access. If a user is a member of your Discord server, they can access your CAD community. If they leave your Discord server, their access is revoked. No manual management required.

Role Synchronization

Role synchronization is where the Discord integration truly shines. Discord roles map directly to CAD permissions, which means your existing Discord role structure becomes the single source of truth for who can access what in the CAD. When a user receives a role in Discord, their CAD permissions update automatically. When a role is removed, the corresponding CAD access is revoked. There is no second system to manage, no duplicate permission structures to maintain, and no manual syncing to worry about.

The mapping system supports admin, supervisor, dispatch, judicial, fire/ems, and officer roles. You configure these mappings once in the admin panel, and the bot handles everything from that point forward. Here is how typical role mappings look in practice:

Department Webhooks

CDE CAD supports per-department webhook configuration, allowing you to route notifications to specific Discord channels based on the department and event type. Each department can have its own webhook URL, which means police reports go to the police channel, EMS logs go to the EMS channel, and dispatch alerts go to the dispatch channel. No more cluttered catch-all notification channels where important alerts get buried.

Setting up webhooks is straightforward. In your Discord server, create a webhook for the target channel. Copy the webhook URL and paste it into the CDE CAD admin panel under the appropriate department. Use the test webhook button to fire a test notification and verify the configuration works. Once configured, the following events automatically trigger webhook notifications:

Community Announcements

CDE CAD includes a built-in announcement system that bridges your CAD interface and Discord channels. Administrators can post announcements directly from the CAD admin panel, and those announcements are broadcast to both the CAD dashboard and configured Discord channels simultaneously. This ensures every member of your community sees important updates regardless of whether they are currently logged into the CAD or just browsing Discord.

Each announcement supports priority levels, expiration dates, and real-time delivery. Priority levels control how the announcement is displayed and how urgently it is pushed to users. Expiration dates ensure outdated announcements are automatically removed so your feeds stay clean and relevant.

Automated Alert Notifications

Beyond webhooks for reports and submissions, CDE CAD pushes critical real-time alerts directly to Discord. These are the high-priority, time-sensitive notifications that your team needs to see immediately. Each alert type can be configured independently per community and per department, giving you full control over what goes where.

Bot Setup Guide

Getting the CDE CAD Discord bot up and running takes about ten minutes. The process involves inviting the bot, granting permissions, configuring webhook channels, and mapping roles. Here is the complete step-by-step guide:
