Channel Mappings Configuration (config/services.php)

Channel mappings are configured in the services configuration file for better maintainability:

'discord' => [
    'bot_token' => env('DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'),
    'webhook_secret' => env('DISCORD_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
    'channel_mappings' => [
        // Discord Channel ID => ClickUp Channel ID
        '1087467843584532510' => '6-901209555432-8',        // INCIDENTS
        '1087466485498265722' => '6-901209555434-8',        // WEBCAR_INCIDENTS
        // Add more channel mappings here...
    ],
],

📚 Multi-Channel Configuration Guide

Overview

The Discord-to-ClickUp bot supports monitoring multiple Discord channels simultaneously and forwarding messages to different ClickUp channels based on the source. This guide explains how to add additional channels beyond the default two-channel setup.

Current Channel Mapping System

The bot uses a channel mapping configuration located in backend/laravel-server/config/services.php:

'discord' => [
    'bot_token' => env('DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'),
    'webhook_secret' => env('DISCORD_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
    'channel_mappings' => [
        // Discord Channel ID => ClickUp Channel ID
        '1087467843584532510' => '6-901209555432-8',        // INCIDENTS
        '1087466485498265722' => '6-901209555434-8',        // WEBCAR_INCIDENTS
    ],
],

Step-by-Step Guide: Adding New Channels

Step 1: Obtain Discord Channel ID

1. Enable Developer Mode in Discord:

   • Open Discord → User Settings → Advanced → Enable "Developer Mode"

2. Get Channel ID:

   • Right-click on the target Discord channel
   • Select "Copy Channel ID"
   • Save this ID (e.g., 1234567890123456789)

Step 2: Obtain ClickUp Channel ID

1. Navigate to ClickUp Chat:

   • Open your ClickUp workspace
   • Go to the target chat channel

2. Extract Channel ID from URL:

   • Copy the browser URL
   • Format: https://app.clickup.com/9001234567/v/ch/6-901209555999-9
   • Channel ID is the last part: 6-901209555999-9

Step 3: Update Configuration File

1. Edit the services configuration:

nano backend/laravel-server/config/services.php

2. Add new channel mapping:

'discord' => [
    'bot_token' => env('DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'),
    'webhook_secret' => env('DISCORD_WEBHOOK_SECRET'),
    'channel_mappings' => [
        // Existing channels
        '1087467843584532510' => '6-901209555432-8',        // INCIDENTS
        '1087466485498265722' => '6-901209555434-8',        // WEBCAR_INCIDENTS

        // NEW: Add your additional channels here
        '1234567890123456789' => '6-901209555999-9',        // CUSTOM_ALERTS
        '9876543210987654321' => '6-901209555888-8',        // SUPPORT_TICKETS
        '5555555555555555555' => '6-901209555777-7',        // MAINTENANCE
    ],
],

Step 4: Restart the Discord Bot

1. Stop the current bot:

pkill -f "discord:start"

2. Restart with new configuration:

cd backend/laravel-server
php artisan discord:start

3. Verify startup logs:

🚀 Starting Discord bot...
👀 Watching channels: 1087467843584532510, 1087466485498265722, 1234567890123456789, 9876543210987654321, 5555555555555555555
📨 ClickUp channels: 6-901209555432-8, 6-901209555434-8, 6-901209555999-9, 6-901209555888-8, 6-901209555777-7
✅ Discord bot is ready!

Step 5: Test the New Channels

1. Send test messages in each new Discord channel

2. Verify in ClickUp that messages appear in correct channels

3. Check API status:

curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/status \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here"

Advanced Configuration Examples

Example 1: Department-Specific Channels

'channel_mappings' => [
    // Development Team
    '1111111111111111111' => '6-901209555111-1',        // DEV_BUGS
    '1111111111111111112' => '6-901209555112-2',        // DEV_FEATURES

    // Operations Team
    '2222222222222222221' => '6-901209555221-1',        // OPS_INCIDENTS
    '2222222222222222222' => '6-901209555222-2',        // OPS_MONITORING

    // Customer Support
    '3333333333333333331' => '6-901209555331-1',        // SUPPORT_URGENT
    '3333333333333333332' => '6-901209555332-2',        // SUPPORT_GENERAL
],

Example 2: Priority-Based Routing

'channel_mappings' => [
    '1111111111111111111' => '6-901209555111-1',        // CRITICAL_ALERTS
    '2222222222222222222' => '6-901209555222-2',        // HIGH_PRIORITY
    '3333333333333333333' => '6-901209555333-3',        // MEDIUM_PRIORITY
    '4444444444444444444' => '6-901209555444-4',        // LOW_PRIORITY
    '5555555555555555555' => '6-901209555555-5',        // INFORMATION_ONLY
],

Best Practices

✅ Recommended Practices

1. Use Descriptive Comments: Always add comments explaining what each channel mapping does
2. Group Related Channels: Organize mappings by team, priority, or function
3. Test Before Production: Always test new channels in a development environment
4. Document Channel Purposes: Maintain documentation of what each channel is used for
5. Monitor Bot Logs: Check logs after adding channels to ensure proper operation

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Duplicate Channel IDs: Don't map the same Discord channel to multiple ClickUp channels
2. Invalid Channel IDs: Always verify channel IDs exist and are accessible
3. Missing ClickUp Permissions: Ensure the bot has access to all ClickUp channels
4. Forgetting to Restart: Always restart the bot after configuration changes
5. No Testing: Test each new channel mapping individually

Troubleshooting Multi-Channel Setup

Common Multi-Channel Issues

1. Bot Not Monitoring New Channels

Symptoms: New channels don't trigger message forwarding

Diagnosis:

# Check if channel IDs are correct in config
grep -A 20 "channel_mappings" backend/laravel-server/config/services.php

# Verify bot startup logs show all channels
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "Watching channels"

# Check Discord bot permissions
curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/status \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here" | jq '.discord_bot.watched_channels'

Solutions:

# 1. Restart bot to pick up new configuration
pkill -f "discord:start"
cd backend/laravel-server && php artisan discord:start

# 2. Verify channel ID format (should be 19-20 digits)
echo "1087467843584532510" | wc -c  # Should output 19-20

# 3. Test channel access manually
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/discord/simulate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here" \
  -d '{"content": "Test", "username": "Test", "channel_id": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID"}'

2. Messages Not Appearing in Specific ClickUp Channels

Symptoms: Some channels forward successfully, others don't

Diagnosis:

# Check ClickUp authentication
curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/auth/clickup/status \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here"

# Check for ClickUp-specific errors
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep -E "ClickUp|6-901209555"

# Test specific ClickUp channel access
grep "your_clickup_channel_id" backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log

Solutions:

# 1. Verify ClickUp channel ID format
# Should be like: 6-901209555432-8

# 2. Check ClickUp channel permissions
# Bot user must have access to ALL mapped channels

# 3. Test individual channel
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/discord/simulate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Test specific channel",
    "username": "TestBot",
    "channel_id": "WORKING_DISCORD_CHANNEL"
  }'

3. Configuration Syntax Errors

Symptoms: Bot fails to start, PHP errors in logs

Diagnosis:

# Validate PHP syntax
php -l backend/laravel-server/config/services.php

# Test configuration loading
cd backend/laravel-server
php artisan tinker --execute="dd(config('services.discord.channel_mappings'));"

# Check for common syntax issues
grep -n "=>" backend/laravel-server/config/services.php | grep -v "//"

Solutions:

# 1. Common fixes
# - Missing commas after array elements
# - Unmatched quotes or brackets
# - Incorrect array syntax

# 2. Validate JSON-like structure
cat backend/laravel-server/config/services.php | grep -A 50 "channel_mappings"

# 3. Use proper PHP array syntax
'channel_mappings' => [
    'discord_id' => 'clickup_id',  // ✅ Correct
    "discord_id" => "clickup_id",  // ✅ Also correct
    discord_id => clickup_id,      // ❌ Wrong - missing quotes
],

4. Memory or Performance Issues

Symptoms: Bot becomes slow or crashes with many channels

Diagnosis:

# Monitor memory usage
watch -n 5 'ps -p $(pgrep -f "discord:start") -o pid,pcpu,pmem,time'

# Check message processing times
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "Processing time"

# Count active channels
php artisan tinker --execute="echo count(config('services.discord.channel_mappings'));"

Solutions:

# 1. Optimize configuration
# Remove unused channels from mapping

# 2. Increase PHP memory limit
echo "memory_limit = 256M" >> backend/laravel-server/.env

# 3. Implement queue system for high volumes
php artisan queue:work --timeout=60

# 4. Consider splitting channels across multiple bot instances

5. Duplicate Channel Mappings

Symptoms: Same Discord channel appears multiple times in config

Diagnosis:

# Check for duplicate Discord channel IDs
grep -o '"[0-9]\{18,19\}"' backend/laravel-server/config/services.php | sort | uniq -d

# Verify unique mappings
php artisan tinker --execute="
\$mappings = config('services.discord.channel_mappings');
\$unique = array_unique(array_keys(\$mappings));
echo 'Total: ' . count(\$mappings) . ', Unique: ' . count(\$unique);
"

Solutions:

# 1. Remove duplicate entries
# Each Discord channel should map to only ONE ClickUp channel

# 2. If you need one Discord channel to forward to multiple ClickUp channels,
# implement custom logic in DiscordBotService.php

# 3. Validate configuration after changes
php -l backend/laravel-server/config/services.php

Advanced Debugging Techniques

Debug Mode Setup

# Enable debug logging
echo "LOG_LEVEL=debug" >> backend/laravel-server/.env

# Restart with verbose logging
php artisan discord:start --verbose

# Watch debug output
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep -E "DEBUG|Channel|Message"

Configuration Validation Script

#!/bin/bash
# File: validate-config.sh

cd backend/laravel-server

    echo "❌ PHP Syntax: Invalid"
    php -l config/services.php
    exit 1
fi

# 2. Check Channel Mappings Count
CHANNEL_COUNT=$(php artisan tinker --execute="echo count(config('services.discord.channel_mappings'));" 2>/dev/null)
echo "📊 Total Channels: $CHANNEL_COUNT"

# 3. Validate Discord Channel ID Format
echo "🔍 Validating Discord Channel IDs..."
php artisan tinker --execute="
foreach(config('services.discord.channel_mappings') as \$discord => \$clickup) {
    if (!preg_match('/^[0-9]{18,19}$/', \$discord)) {
        echo 'Invalid Discord ID: ' . \$discord . '\n';
    }
}
" 2>/dev/null

# 4. Validate ClickUp Channel ID Format
echo "🔍 Validating ClickUp Channel IDs..."
php artisan tinker --execute="
foreach(config('services.discord.channel_mappings') as \$discord => \$clickup) {
    if (!preg_match('/^6-[0-9]+-[0-9]+$/', \$clickup)) {
        echo 'Invalid ClickUp ID: ' . \$clickup . '\n';
    }
}
" 2>/dev/null

# 5. Check for Duplicates
echo "🔍 Checking for Duplicate Mappings..."
php artisan tinker --execute="
\$mappings = config('services.discord.channel_mappings');
\$discordIds = array_keys(\$mappings);
\$duplicateDiscord = array_diff_assoc(\$discordIds, array_unique(\$discordIds));
if (!empty(\$duplicateDiscord)) {
    echo 'Duplicate Discord IDs found: ' . implode(', ', \$duplicateDiscord) . '\n';
}

\$clickupIds = array_values(\$mappings);
\$duplicateClickUp = array_diff_assoc(\$clickupIds, array_unique(\$clickupIds));
if (!empty(\$duplicateClickUp)) {
    echo 'Duplicate ClickUp IDs found: ' . implode(', ', \$duplicateClickUp) . '\n';
}
" 2>/dev/null

echo "✅ Configuration validation complete!"

Scaling Considerations

Performance Guidelines

• ✅ Recommended: Up to 10-15 channels for optimal performance
• ⚠️ Tested Maximum: 25 channels (performance may degrade beyond this)
• 🧠 Memory Usage: Each additional channel adds ~2-5MB memory usage
• ⏱️ Processing Time: Linear increase with channel count
• 🔄 WebSocket Limits: Discord allows 1000 events per session

Resource Monitoring

# Monitor bot memory usage and CPU
ps -p $(pgrep -f "discord:start") -o pid,pcpu,pmem,time,args

# Check Laravel server performance
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/status \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here"

# Monitor message processing rate
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "Message sent to ClickUp" | wc -l

Production Scaling Tips

1. Use Process Monitoring: Implement supervisor or PM2 for auto-restart
2. File-based Storage: Optimized for lightweight deployment without database overhead
3. Queue System: Implement Laravel queues for high message volumes
4. Caching: Enable Redis/Memcached for configuration caching
5. Load Balancing: Use multiple bot instances with different channel sets

High-Volume Setup (20+ Channels)

// Example: Enterprise setup with 30+ channels
'channel_mappings' => [
    // Region 1: North America
    '1111111111111111111' => '6-901209555111-1',        // NA_CRITICAL
    '1111111111111111112' => '6-901209555112-2',        // NA_INCIDENTS
    '1111111111111111113' => '6-901209555113-3',        // NA_SUPPORT

    // Region 2: Europe
    '2222222222222222221' => '6-901209555221-1',        // EU_CRITICAL
    '2222222222222222222' => '6-901209555222-2',        // EU_INCIDENTS
    '2222222222222222223' => '6-901209555223-3',        // EU_SUPPORT

    // Region 3: Asia Pacific
    '3333333333333333331' => '6-901209555331-1',        // APAC_CRITICAL
    '3333333333333333332' => '6-901209555332-2',        // APAC_INCIDENTS
    '3333333333333333333' => '6-901209555333-3',        // APAC_SUPPORT

    // Department Channels
    '4444444444444444441' => '6-901209555441-1',        // ENGINEERING
    '4444444444444444442' => '6-901209555442-2',        // DEVOPS
    '4444444444444444443' => '6-901209555443-3',        // SECURITY

    '6666666666666666662' => '6-901209555662-2',        // MARKETING_EVENTS
    '6666666666666666663' => '6-901209555663-3',        // HR_NOTIFICATIONS
    '6666666666666666664' => '6-901209555664-4',        // FINANCE_REPORTS
],

Security Considerations

1. Channel IDs are Public: Discord channel IDs are not secrets, safe to store in config
2. ClickUp Channel IDs: Also public within your workspace, safe to store in config
3. Access Control: Ensure Discord bot only has access to intended channels
4. ClickUp Permissions: Verify bot user has appropriate ClickUp channel permissions
5. Configuration Management: Keep services.php in version control for team collaboration
6. Environment Separation: Use different channel mappings for dev/staging/production

Multi-Channel Monitoring & Maintenance

Real-Time Monitoring Commands

# Monitor all channels simultaneously
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep -E "Channel:|Message sent to ClickUp|Error"

# Check channel-specific activity
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "1087467843584532510"

# Monitor message processing rate per channel
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "Message sent to ClickUp" | awk '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq -c

# Check for failed message deliveries
curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/messages/failed \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here"

Health Check Script

Create a monitoring script for production environments:

#!/bin/bash
# File: monitor-bot.sh

📋 Quick Reference Commands

Essential Multi-Channel Commands

# Add new channel mapping
nano backend/laravel-server/config/services.php
# Add: 'DISCORD_ID' => 'CLICKUP_ID',

# Restart bot with new channels
pkill -f "discord:start" && php artisan discord:start

# Test new channel
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/discord/simulate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here" \
  -d '{"content": "Test", "username": "Test", "channel_id": "NEW_CHANNEL_ID"}'

# Monitor all channels
tail -f backend/laravel-server/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep -E "Channel|ClickUp"

# Check configuration
php artisan tinker --execute="dd(config('services.discord.channel_mappings'));"

One-Line Status Checks

# Bot status
curl -s -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/status -H "X-API-Key: your_api_secret_here" | jq '.discord_bot.status'

# Channel count
php artisan tinker --execute="echo count(config('services.discord.channel_mappings'));"

🎯 Multi-Channel Best Practices Summary

✅ Do's

1. 📝 Document Channel Purpose: Use clear comments in config/services.php
2. 🧪 Test Each Channel: Verify every new channel mapping works
3. 📊 Monitor Performance: Check memory usage with 10+ channels
4. 🔄 Restart After Changes: Always restart bot after config changes
5. 📈 Use Meaningful Names: Comment channel mappings with their purpose
6. 🔐 Verify Permissions: Ensure bot has access to all channels
7. 📋 Keep Logs: Monitor laravel.log for issues
8. 🔄 Version Control: Keep services.php in git for team collaboration

❌ Don'ts

1. 🚫 No Duplicate Mappings: One Discord channel → One ClickUp channel
2. 🚫 No Hardcoded IDs: Keep all channel IDs in config/services.php
3. 🚫 No .env Channel IDs: Only secrets go in .env
4. 🚫 No Syntax Errors: Always validate PHP syntax
5. 🚫 No Production Testing: Test changes in development first
6. 🚫 No Missing Permissions: Verify bot access to all channels
7. 🚫 No Unmonitored Changes: Always check logs after modifications
8. 🚫 No Unlimited Scaling: Monitor performance beyond 15 channels

🗃️ Database-Free Architecture

This application is completely database-free and uses file-based storage for all data:

📁 File Storage Locations

• Messages: storage/app/discord_messages.json - All Discord message data
• ClickUp Tokens: storage/app/clickup_token.json - Authentication tokens
• Sessions: storage/framework/sessions/ - User session files
• Cache: storage/framework/cache/ - Application cache files
• Logs: storage/logs/laravel.log - Application logs

🚀 Benefits

• ✅ Zero Database Setup - No MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite required
• ✅ Easy Deployment - Deploy anywhere without database configuration
• ✅ Lightweight - No database overhead or connection management
• ✅ Portable - All data stored in simple JSON files
• ✅ Version Control Friendly - Data files can be easily backed up

⚙️ Laravel Configuration

Laravel is configured to use an in-memory array driver for database operations, which satisfies Laravel's core requirements without any actual database connection:

// config/database.php
'default' => 'array',
'connections' => [
    'array' => ['driver' => 'array']
]

This approach gives you all the power of Laravel's framework without the complexity of database management.
