Discord Integration Release

We are very excited to announce the integration of Discord as a new data source inside Player XP. Recognising it is a constant feed of information that can be difficult to understand at first, it’s been one of our most anticipated new integrations. At Player XP we’re always trying to improve the value we provide you and the team and feel Player XP is the perfect place to gain better insights into your Discord community.
