FiveM CAD System Webhook Setup: Discord Notifications & Alerts

Complete guide to setting up Discord webhooks in your FiveM CAD system. Learn how to configure real-time notifications for 911 calls, BOLOs, reports, panic buttons, and more with CDE CAD webhook integration.

Webhooks in CDE CAD

CDE CAD supports Discord webhooks for real-time notifications. When events happen in the CAD - a new 911 call comes in, a BOLO is created, a report is filed - a message is automatically sent to your Discord channel. No manual copy-pasting, no alt-tabbing to relay information. The CAD pushes formatted Discord embeds directly to the channels your team already monitors. This means dispatchers, officers, and command staff stay informed the moment something happens, whether they are actively in the CAD or just watching Discord on a second monitor. Webhooks bridge the gap between your CAD system and your community's primary communication platform, making sure critical information never gets missed.

Department-Level Webhooks

Each department in your CDE CAD instance can have its own webhook URL. Police events go to the police channel. EMS events go to the EMS channel. This keeps notifications organized and prevents information overload. When your police department has a busy night with multiple arrests and BOLOs, those notifications stay in the LSPD channel instead of burying the EMS team's medical calls.

Configure webhooks per department from the admin panel's department settings. Each department entry has a dedicated field for a Discord webhook URL. Simply paste the URL for the channel you want that department's events to appear in, and the CAD handles the rest.

What Events Trigger Webhooks

Each webhook event sends a richly formatted Discord embed. Embeds include a color sidebar that matches event severity (red for emergencies, yellow for alerts, blue for informational), a title describing the event type, fields with structured data, and a footer with the timestamp and originating department. This formatting ensures notifications are scannable and professional.

Setting Up Webhooks Step-by-Step

Getting webhooks running between CDE CAD and Discord takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to connect your CAD system to your Discord server and start receiving real-time notifications:

Advanced Webhook Management

Once you have the basics running, CDE CAD offers advanced webhook management features that give you fine-grained control over what gets sent where. The admin panel's webhook management section provides a centralized view of all configured webhooks across every department, along with tools to test, validate, and troubleshoot your notification pipeline.
