core: "Unable to find service notify.discord"

The problem

After following the steps in the Discord integration page, and verifying that everything is setup correctly, Home Assistant does not ‘create’ the service notify.discord.

This is my entry in the ‘configuration.yaml’ file:

# Setup discord
notify:
  - platform: discord
    token: XXXX

I did the configuration check (all was good) restarted Home Assistant and observed the logs to verify no errors where there. If i then go to developer options i was expecting the ‘notify.discord’ service to appear automagically, since the integration page does not mention anything about the need to add an integration nor does the discord integration exists.

However it doesn’t exist and if i enter the data manually i get the error “Unable to find service notify.discord”

I went ahead and had a go and re-structuring the docs for this integration in a PR

Try using this:

Just change the service name and your channel ID

service: notify.discord_bot
data:
  message: 'Test'
  target:
    - '8696591053508327'

This works for me

Yes the bot should be offline and switches to online as soon as it sends a message.

(how can I tell the code block that it is in yaml format?)

awesome, that worked for me:

service: notify.discordha
data:
  message: 'Test'
  target:
    - '962250032701124648'

(to tell what the code block is do this: ```yaml)

Yeah my Discord configuration is commented out / removed from my configuration.yaml and exclusively setup through the UI integrations and still getting that message fwiw

Seeing the same behavior after upgrading to 22.4.1. I propose to create a separate issue as @gvdhoven had issues with the integration prior to 22.4.1.
