Roleplay CAD Discord Integration Guide

Discord is the communication hub for virtually every FiveM roleplay community. Your members spend their time there coordinating, socializing, and managing community affairs. Integrating your CAD system with Discord creates a seamless bridge between your operational tools and your community platform, eliminating friction and keeping everyone connected. CDE CAD offers deep Discord integration that goes far beyond basic login — it ties your entire community infrastructure together into a cohesive ecosystem.

Discord OAuth Authentication

The foundation of CDE CAD's Discord integration is OAuth2 authentication. Instead of creating separate accounts with usernames and passwords, your members log into the CAD system using their existing Discord accounts. This eliminates the friction of account creation, removes the security risk of password management, and ensures that every CAD user is verifiably a member of your Discord server.

Setting up Discord OAuth requires creating a Discord application in the Developer Portal, configuring the redirect URI to point to your CDE CAD instance, and entering the application's client ID and secret in the CAD admin panel. The entire process takes about five minutes. Once configured, users see a "Login with Discord" button on the CAD login page. One click authorizes the connection, and they're in — no registration forms, no email verification, no forgotten password flows.

CDE CAD pulls basic profile information from Discord during authentication — username, discriminator, avatar, and server roles. This information is used to populate the user's CAD profile and determine their initial permissions. If a member changes their Discord username or avatar, the CAD profile updates automatically on their next login.

Role Synchronization

Automatic Role Sync

Discord role changes propagate to CAD permissions in real time, eliminating manual permission management overhead.

One-Click Login

Members authenticate with their Discord accounts — no separate credentials to create, remember, or reset.

Webhook Notifications

911 calls, duty changes, BOLO alerts, and critical events post automatically to designated Discord channels.

Channel Logging

Comprehensive activity logging to Discord channels for audit trails, call histories, and administrative action records.

Webhook Notifications

Webhooks allow CDE CAD to push information directly into your Discord channels in real time. Configure webhooks for different event types and route them to appropriate channels. 911 calls can post to a dispatch channel so off-duty members can monitor activity. Duty status changes can post to a roster channel showing who's currently on patrol. BOLO alerts can broadcast to a department-wide channel ensuring maximum visibility.

Each webhook notification is formatted as a rich Discord embed with relevant details organized cleanly. A 911 call notification includes the caller's information, location, call type, priority level, and a direct link to the call in the CAD system. A duty status notification shows the officer's name, callsign, department, and their new status. The formatting is professional and consistent, making your Discord channels look polished and organized.

Webhook configuration is granular — you choose exactly which events trigger notifications and which channels receive them. High-priority calls might go to both the dispatch channel and a command staff channel, while routine status updates only go to the roster channel. You can also filter by department, so police notifications go to police channels and fire notifications go to fire channels, keeping information organized and relevant.

Channel Logging and Audit Trails

Beyond event notifications, CDE CAD can log detailed activity to Discord channels for record-keeping and accountability purposes. Administrative actions — permission changes, user modifications, system configuration updates — can be logged to a restricted admin channel. Call resolution summaries can be posted to a completed calls channel for review. Report submissions can be logged to a records channel.

These logs serve as a searchable audit trail within Discord. If there's ever a question about who changed a permission, when a call was closed, or what actions were taken during an incident, the Discord logs provide a readily accessible record. Combined with CDE CAD's internal audit system, this creates redundant accountability that protects both administrators and community members.

Duty Alerts and Presence

CDE CAD's duty alert system keeps your community informed about who's on patrol without requiring anyone to check the CAD directly. When officers go on or off duty, notifications post to designated channels with their name, callsign, department, and timestamp. This visibility encourages more members to sign on when they see activity, creating a positive feedback loop that keeps your server populated during peak hours.

For communities that want even tighter integration, CDE CAD can update a persistent roster message in Discord that shows all currently on-duty units organized by department. This living document updates automatically as officers sign on and off, providing an always-current snapshot of your operational strength without any manual maintenance required.

"Discord integration turned our CAD from a standalone tool into the backbone of our community. Members see activity in Discord, jump into the CAD, and get on patrol. It keeps the entire ecosystem alive and connected."
