Bot application setup

This page contains info about how to set up the bot in discord.com/developers/ and how to get the bot token.

In order to make your bot unique and be able to make the bot able to join your Discord server, you will need to set up a bot application on Discord's Developer portal. Creating a bot account is an easy process:

Creating a Bot Application

1. Log in on the Developer portal page (https://discord.com/developers/) and navigate to Applications page

2. Click on the New Application button in the top right corner

3. Choose a name for your application and click Create

4. Navigate to the Bot tab and click Add Bot button in the Build-A-Bot section

5. Give your bot a name, an icon, customize the bot to your liking

6. Make sure the Public Bot button is off, since you are probably going to use the bot only on your own server

7. Enable all Intents so that the bot can access things like user join events etc.

8. You can copy the Bot Token there, it will be needed later when setting up the bot

---

Inviting the bot to your server

1. In your bot application, navigate to OAuth2 tab and than to URL Generator section

2. Select Bot and Applications.commands option in Scopes

3. Setup permissions. You can use Administrator to grant all permissions to the bot. Though please note, that this isn't the most secure option in certain circumstances. Also I would recommend to have 2FA enabled on your account.

4. You should by now able to copy the resulting URL on the bottom of the page. Paste the URL to your browser, select server you want to add the bot to and click Authorize to confirm your decision.

Done! Easy, right? 😇 You can continue and install the bot on your machine!
