Create a Discord Bot

Creating a Bot​

In order to send an email, you have to provide your bot token to the robot. To do this in a secure way, we created a vault system that works much like online password managers' security mechanisms. To learn more about Vaults please go to this guide.

  1. Go to Discord Web and log in.

  2. Navigate to the application page.

  3. On the top right, click the New Application.

New Application

  1. Give a name to your application then create your application.

Create Bot

  1. On the left menu, click Bot then click Add Bot

  2. Click Reset Token and copy the new token by using Copy button. We will need this token later as an API Key/Token vault item. For more information about creating vault items see here

  3. On the left menu, click Oauth2 and go to URL Generator.

  4. In Scopes, choose bot and bot permissions will be disappear scroll down and give permissions that you want to use. In this tutorial, we will use send message.

  5. After this, url will be generated at the end of page, copy it then go to the url to choose the server that you want to add bot.

  6. Click continue then click authorize. That's it, you added your bot to your server.
