Adding A Bot

Adding a bot to your server

To use a Discord bot, you will need to create a Discord application. Go to this page and click the "Create an application" button.

Give your bot a descriptive name; giving it an avatar or description is optional, but the name will be used as the default name for the bot.

Once you have created your application, navigate to the "Bot" tab on the left and click "Add Bot." This will create a new bot account!

To add the bot to your server, go to https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=0 (replacing CLIENT_ID with your application's client ID, which can be obtained from the "General Information" tab) and add the bot to your server.

Alternatively, you can go to the "OAuth2" tab of your application, check off the "bot" scope, and copy the URL from there. You may also include permissions to be granted in this link, if you'd rather not make the bot its own role.

Once the bot is added to your server, copy the token from the "Bot" tab to the "token" field in config.json. Once started, the bot should now automatically connect to your server, with no further configuration required.
