  • Discord: channel settings, Integrations, Webhooks, New Webhook, Copy Webhook URL.
  • Microsoft Teams: in the channel, Workflows, "Post to a channel when a webhook request is received", and copy the URL it gives you.

Why is Google Docs not working for me?

Google Docs reports no problem, so the cause is most likely on your side or in between: check your internet connection, VPN or proxy, DNS, browser extensions and cache, or try another network or device. Also check services that many apps rely on, such as Cloudflare or the big clouds.
