This document aims to guide you through the process of creating a Discord account for your bot (the Discord Bot application), and inviting that account into your Discord server.
Go to .
Log in with your Discord account.
Click New Application.
Fill out the Name field however you like.
Go to the Bot tab on the left sidebar.
Click on the Add a Bot button and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app.
Optional: Add bot's avatar and description.
Copy your Token to creds.yml as shown above.
Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section
Enable the following:
PRESENCE INTENT
SERVER MEMBERS INTENT
MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT
These are required for a number of features to function properly, and all should be on.
Go to your Discord server and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start (to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after the mention has been typed).
For example, the message \@fearnlj01#3535 will appear as <@145521851676884992> after you send the message.
The message will appear as a mention if done correctly. Copy the numbers from it 145521851676884992 and replace the big number on the OwnerIds section with your user ID.
Save the creds.yml file.
If done correctly, you should now be the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by adding them below the first one. Indentation matters.
For a single owner, it should look like this:
For multiple owners, it should look like this:
Replace the YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE in this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=66186303 with your Client ID
The link should now look something like this: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=123123123123&scope=bot&permissions=66186303
Access that newly created link, pick your Discord server, click Authorize and confirm with the captcha at the end
The bot should now be in your server
That's it! You may now go back to the installation guide you were following before 🎉
On the General Information tab, copy your Application ID from your .
