How it works

The Discord connector indexes all channels for all servers(guilds) mentioned.

Setting up a Bot User

1. Open Discord developer portal

   Login to your discord’s developer portal https://discord.com/developers/applications

2. Create application

   Click on the “New Application” button.

3. Name and create

   Give the application a name and click “Create”.

4. Configure Bot tab

   Navigate to the “Bot” tab to configure it.

5. Public Bot option

   Make sure that Public Bot is ticked if you want others to invite your bot.

6. Enable privileged intents

   Under the Privileged Gateway Intents make sure MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT is checked.

7. Copy bot token

   Copy the token using the “Copy” button. If you have lost your token, you can click on Reset Token.

Inviting the Bot User to server(s)

So you’ve made a Bot User but it’s not actually in any server. To add the bot user in your server follow the steps:

1. Open application

   Open your application at https://discord.com/developers/applications .

2. Open Installation tab

   Head over to the Installation tab.

3. Enable Guild Install

   Check the Guild Install under the Installation contexts.

4. Add bot scope

   Add bot scope under the scopes for Guild Install.

5. Set minimum permissions

   Under the permissions section for Guild Install, give these minimum permissions Manage Messages, Read Message History and View Channels.

6. Install bot with link

   Use the Discord Provided Link to install the bot to the server(s) you want. Make sure you have Manager server permissions on that guild or server

7. Add bot to servers

   Open the link in the browser and add the bot to your server(s)

Indexing

1. Open Discord connector

   Navigate to the Connector Dashboard and select the Discord Connector.

2. Enter Bot Token

   Enter the Bot Token under credentials you fetched from Setting up a Bot User step 6.

3. Enter server IDs

   Enter the server IDs. By default all channels of all servers/guilds in which the bot user is added will be indexed or processed.

4. Find server ID

   To fetch server ID of a particular server, right click on the name of the server located on the top right corner and click on Copy Server ID

5. Enter channel names

   Enter the channel names. By default all channel names under the server(s) from step 3 that the bot user has access to will be indexed or processed.

6. Find channel name

   To get the channel name, hit on the settings icon next to the channel name. You will find the channel name in the Overview section

7. Optional Start Date

   Optionally you can set a Start Date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. Only messages after this date will be indexed or processed.
