Setting up Discord bots

How to create your Discord App for Discord Linking

Creating a Discord bot

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/

2. Create an Application

3. Give the application an awesome name (this will be used as the bot's initial username)

4. Click Save Changes

5. Open the Bot tab

6. Click Add Bot and confirm

7. Make sure to make your bot set to non-public by changing the slot labeled "public bot"

8. Make sure to change the bot's username & profile picture in this tab as well

IMPORTANT **

Discord Link requires you to enable specific Discord "Intentions". On the Discord developer portal bot page, scroll down on your application and enable the following options:

Configuring your Linking Bot

The following configuration settings must be configured for your bot to work correctly!

discord-bot-settings:
  run-bot-on-instance: true
  bot-token: '<your-bot-token-copied-from-above>'
  discord-guild-id: '<your-servers-discord-guild-id>'
  member-role-id: '<discord-linked-role>'

The Discord guild, role, and token must be configured for your Discord Linking bot to start & enable correctly. Missing any of these options may cause your bot to fail Discord commands or linking!

The Discord bot can only run on one server, but unlimited servers can connect together via our databasing system to share the same data. Make sure when configuring, you only have the bot running on one server

User Permissions

Discord members will require access to use /slash commands in the channel(s) you want them to be able to use the Discord linking command.
