Alright, thanks for the help!

Example:

plugin.json

{
  "id": "nodebb-plugin-nubhook",
  "name": "nubHook",
  "description": "blablabla",
  "url": "removed for priv",
  "library": "./library.js",
  "hooks": [
    { "hook": "action:post.save", "method": "discordHooker" },
    { "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "init" }
  ],
  "scripts": [
    "lib/main.js"
  ]
}

library.js

var NubHook = {
       discordHooker: function(postData) {
//send to discord plox
       }
   };



module.exports = NubHook;

My code is extremely mangled at the moment.

Basically what I am attempting to do is whenever a user posts I want an update to be pushed to a Discord channel. I have the Discord hooks working perfect. But sending the data through the nodebb hook is becoming a task.

The only information I require is how to push the data to Discord from the nodebb server side.

Should I be using nodejs http to send the data?

Or is there a hook that I am missing that fires clientside when the user posts a new message? I have tried "action:composer.post.new" which fires when you click new or reply not submit.

Ok I have been slamming my head against this for a few days now since I am fairly new to socket.io and the nodebb framework. Hoping I can get some ideas.

Basically all I am trying to do is get a nodebb serverhook to work with another platforms hook. The hook I am using is action:post.save.

I have my plugin.json serverhook calling to my library.js fine. The problem is trying to pass the data to the other platform.

I can do it all day long client side with something like:
$.post( url, embed2 );

I guess my question really is, how the heck can I "post (socket.io equivalent?)" from my plugin in a serverside script?

I have been searching for hours and I bet I missed something. Any help is appreciated.
