Discord Mention & Link Builder
Turn raw Discord IDs into the mention tokens and deep links you paste into messages, embeds, and bot code. Build user, role, channel, emoji, slash-command, timestamp, and server-navigation mentions below. Everything is assembled in your browser.
Tokens only render as live, pingable mentions when the ID is real and the object is visible to whoever reads the message. Otherwise Discord shows the raw text.
User mention
Pings a member and renders their name. Works in messages, embeds, and bot replies.
Role mention
Pings everyone in a role. The extra & is what separates a role mention from a user mention.
Channel link
Renders a clickable #channel jump link. No ping, so it just takes readers to the channel.
Custom emoji
Inline a custom server emoji by name and ID. Tick “animated” for APNG/GIF emoji.
Slash command mention
A clickable slash-command link. Use the full name including any subcommand, e.g. “settings view”.
Timestamp
Renders a localized date/time that updates for each reader’s timezone.
Need to pick a date visually or grab a relative countdown? Use the Timestamp Generator to convert any calendar date into the Unix seconds this field expects.
Guild navigation
Opens the community onboarding / Channels & Roles screen.
Message / channel deep link
A full https:// link to a channel, or to a specific message when you add a message ID.
For a direct message, replace the server ID with @me. Leave the message ID blank to link to the whole channel.

Discord mentions, explained
How do I mention a user, role, or channel by ID?+
Discord mentions are just text tokens. A user is <@ID>, a role is <@&ID>, and a channel is <#ID>. Swap in the numeric ID and paste the token into any message or embed. Discord turns it into a live, clickable mention when it sends.
How do I find a Discord ID?+
Open Discord, go to User Settings → Advanced and turn on Developer Mode. Then right-click any user, role, channel, message, or server and choose “Copy ID”. Every ID is a plain string of digits (a snowflake), then paste it into the matching field above.
How do I make a clickable channel or slash-command mention?+
Use <#ChannelID> for a channel jump link and </command name:CommandID> for a slash command. For example, </help:1071234567890123456>. Both render as blue clickable links inside Discord as long as the channel or command exists and the reader can see it.
Why isn’t my mention pinging or turning blue?+
A token only renders as a live mention when the ID is real and the user, role, channel, or command is visible to whoever reads the message. A typo’d ID, a deleted object, or a channel the reader can’t access will show up as plain text like <@123> instead.
Is it free?+
Completely free with no login or account required. Every token and link is assembled locally in your browser, so the IDs you paste never leave your device.
