Inviting a bot to a personal thread on Discord involves a few steps, including
creating the bot, setting up permissions, and then inviting it to your server.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
### Step 1: Create a Discord Bot
1. **Navigate to the Discord Developer Portal:**
- Go to [Discord Developer Portal]([Link]
2. **Create a New Application:**
- Click "New Application."
- Give your application a name and click "Create."
3. **Create a Bot:**
- In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Bot."
- Click "Add Bot," then confirm by clicking "Yes, do it!"
### Step 2: Get the Bot Token
1. **Copy the Token:**
- Under the "Bot" section, click "Copy" to copy the bot's token.
- **Important:** Keep this token private. Do not share it.
### Step 3: Invite the Bot to Your Server
1. **Generate an OAuth2 URL:**
- Go to the "OAuth2" section in the left-hand sidebar.
- Under "OAuth2 URL Generator," select the following:
- **Scopes:** `bot`
- **Bot Permissions:** Select the appropriate permissions your bot will need.
For example, `Send Messages`, `Read Messages`, etc.
2. **Generate the URL:**
- Copy the generated URL and open it in a new tab.
3. **Invite the Bot:**
- Select the server to which you want to invite the bot and click “Authorize.”
- Complete the CAPTCHA if prompted.
### Step 4: Create a Personal Thread
1. **Navigate to Your Server:**
- Open Discord and go to the server where you invited the bot.
2. **Create a Personal Thread:**
- Go to a text channel.
- Click on the "+" button next to the text box and select "Create Thread" or use
the "#" button and name your thread.
- Make the thread either private or public as needed.
### Step 5: Add the Bot to the Thread
1. **Invite the Bot:**
- Once the thread is created, you can mention the bot to ensure it's active in
the thread by using `@YourBotName`.
2. **Ensure Permissions:**
- Make sure the bot has the necessary permissions to read and send messages in
the thread. You might need to adjust the thread-specific permissions.
### Step 6: Code the Bot to Interact (Optional)
If you want the bot to interact within the thread, you may need to code additional
functionalities using a bot framework like `[Link]` or `[Link]`.
Here’s a simple example using `[Link]`:
1. **Install [Link]:**
```
npm install [Link]
```
2. **Create a bot script (e.g., [Link]):**
```javascript
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('[Link]');
const client = new Client({ intents: [[Link],
[Link], [Link]] });
[Link]('ready', () => {
[Link]('Bot is online!');
});
[Link]('messageCreate', message => {
if ([Link] === '!ping') {
[Link]('Pong!');
}
});
[Link]('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN');
```
3. **Run the Bot:**
```
node [Link]
```
Replace `'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN'` with the token you copied from the Discord Developer
Portal.
With these steps, you should be able to invite your bot to a personal thread on
Discord and interact with it there.
