# Discord

## How it works

The Discord connector indexes all channels across every server (guild) that you specify.

## Setting up a Bot User

1. **Open the Discord Developer Portal**
   Log in at [https://discord.com/developers/applications](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
2. **Create an Application**
   Click the "New Application" button.
3. **Name and Create**
   Give your application a name and click "Create."
4. **Configure the Bot Tab**
   Navigate to the "Bot" tab to begin configuring your bot.
5. **Public Bot Option**
   Enable the "Public Bot" option if you'd like others to be able to invite your bot.
6. **Enable Privileged Intents**
   Under `Privileged Gateway Intents`, make sure `MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT` is checked.
7. **Copy the Bot Token**
   Click the "Copy" button to save your token. If you've misplaced it, click "Reset Token" to generate a new one.

## Inviting the Bot User to server(s)

Once your Bot User is created, you'll need to add it to your servers:

1. **Open Your Application**
   Go to [https://discord.com/developers/applications](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and open your application.
2. **Open the Installation Tab**
   Navigate to the "Installation" tab.
3. **Enable Guild Install**
   Check "Guild Install" under Installation Contexts.
4. **Add the Bot Scope**
   Under the scopes for Guild Install, add the `bot` scope.
5. **Set Minimum Permissions**
   Under the permissions section for Guild Install, grant the following minimum permissions: `Manage Messages`, `Read Message History`, and `View Channels`.
6. **Install Using the Provided Link**
   Use the "Discord Provided Link" to add the bot to your desired server(s). You must have "Manage Server" permissions on the target guild or server.
7. **Add the Bot to Your Servers**
   Open the link in your browser and follow the prompts to add the bot.

## Indexing

1. **Open the Discord Connector**
   Go to the Connector Dashboard and select the Discord Connector.
2. **Enter the Bot Token**
   Under credentials, paste the Bot Token you copied in Step 6 of the Bot User setup above.
3. **Enter Server IDs**
   Provide the server IDs you want to index. By default, all channels in every server or guild where the bot has been added will be indexed.
4. **Find a Server ID**
   To locate a specific server's ID, right-click on the server name in the top-right corner and select "Copy Server ID."
5. **Enter Channel Names**
   Specify the channel names you want to index. By default, all channels within the specified servers that the bot has access to will be included.
6. **Find a Channel Name**
   To retrieve a channel name, click the settings icon next to the channel. The name will be listed under the "Overview" section.
7. **Optional Start Date**
   You can optionally set a start date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format. Only messages sent on or after this date will be indexed in ASSIST AI.
