This script is an addition to the Discord Relay and will require version 3.0 or higher of the relay to work. It allows to send open/local chat messages FROM Discord TO Second Life, thus complementing the Discord Relay (and add-ons like Discord Conference, or Discord Private Messenger) with a public backchannel.

This add-on is perfect for shops, clubs, or communities, where a customer service representative or an officer can reply to questions from within Second Life, without the need of being online. With an optional add-on like Discord Conference, true two-way communication can be achieved, since the messages from this add-on are sent back to Discord as well.

The add-on posts a link to your Discord Channel, which opens a form for the message that is to be sent to open chat in Second Life. The form shows which agents are within listening range and can hear the message being sent. The message can be sent anonymously, or optionally with a password based authentication. If authentication is used, the message in Discord is shown coming from the username matching the password. Unauthenticated messages are labelled as "unauthenticated chat".

Data processing is handled completely on SL's side (except for the obvious parts inside Discord) - no third-party is involved in relaying or storing the chat data.
