# Link Discord members to Attio people

Last updated: 2026-10-14

Match Discord server members to Attio people by email with Conncord's invite link, Layover and welcome message, and save their Discord details.

Conncord links each Discord member in your server to an Attio person. It finds or creates the person by email and saves their Discord ID, username and verified email, so you can filter by Discord membership and use the [role steps](https://conncord.com/docs/attio/assign-remove-roles) on them.

Member linking is included in the trial, Pro and Scale plans.

## Three ways members get linked

| Way | Who it's for |
| :-- | :-- |
| [Your invite link](#your-invite-link) | People you invite, from emails, your website or anywhere else |
| [Layover](https://conncord.com/docs/layover) | An optional branded page in front of your invite link, which can ask for an email |
| [Welcome message](https://conncord.com/docs/welcome-message) | People who join your server some other way. They click **Register** |

## Your invite link

Your dashboard shows **Your Discord invite link** once Attio and Discord are connected. Click **Copy** to copy it, and **Try it** to test it.

It looks like this:

```

Attio has one invite link per workspace, the same for everyone. Share it anywhere: in emails and sequences, on your website, in your product, or in a QR code. When someone opens it, they sign in with Discord, Conncord adds them to your server and links them to an Attio person.

To link the people you already have in Attio, email them your invite link. Turn on [Layover](https://conncord.com/docs/layover) with **Ask for email** so they're matched by the email they use with you, even if their Discord account uses a different one.

## Which person a member is linked to

Conncord picks the person in this order:

1. The oldest person with the email they entered on [Layover](https://conncord.com/docs/layover) or in the [welcome message](https://conncord.com/docs/welcome-message).
2. The oldest person with their Discord email, if Discord has verified it.
3. Otherwise, a new person with that email. Their first name is their Discord username until they enter a name.

Conncord adds the email to the person and fills in their name only if it's empty. It never removes or overwrites existing values.

A Discord member is linked to one person at a time, and a person to one member. If a member is linked to a different person later, Conncord clears the Discord ID and username on the old one.

## What Conncord saves on the person

| Attribute | Value |
| :-- | :-- |
| Conncord Discord ID | The member's Discord user ID |
| Conncord Discord username | The member's Discord username |
| Conncord Discord email | The member's Discord email, saved only if Discord has verified it |

These attributes show what Conncord linked. The [role steps](https://conncord.com/docs/attio/assign-remove-roles) use Conncord's own link, so editing them by hand doesn't change who a role step acts on. See [Person attributes Conncord creates](https://conncord.com/docs/attio/connect#person-attributes).

## Linked members in your dashboard

The **Activity** page lists each link as **Contact linked** or **Contact relinked**, with a link to the person in Attio. The **Linked members** tab shows every member with how they joined and whether they're still in your server.

## Pending links

Members always join your server, even when Conncord can't update Attio right away. Their link waits as **Pending sync** and is saved to Attio automatically, within about 10 minutes of the problem being fixed, when:

- Your plan doesn't include member linking (Starter). It syncs when you move to Pro or Scale.
- Your plan's actions for the month are used up.
- Attio is disconnected, or Conncord's access was revoked.
- Attio is temporarily unavailable.

While links are pending, role steps for those people fail with [DISCORD_ID_MISSING](https://conncord.com/docs/workflow-errors#discord-id-missing).

Each link uses one action from your plan. See [Plans and billing](https://conncord.com/docs/plans-and-billing#what-counts-as-an-action).

## Members who leave and rejoin

When a member leaves your server, they stay linked to their person and show as **Left server**. If they rejoin, they're marked back in, and they don't get the welcome message again.
