Setting up installation method

To be able to talk with your shape, we need to setup the install method.

  1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal and select the bot app you made earlier.
  2. Go to Installation tab, unselect User Install and make sure Guild Install is check-marked.
  3. Under Install Link section. Open the select menu and click Discord Provided Link.

  1. Under Default Install Settings section, there is a Guild Install drop down scope select menu. Open the drop down and select bot, then click Save Changes. Select whatever permissions your bots need to work in a server.

Setting up required intents

  1. Go to Bot tab, scroll down and toggle on the Server Members Intent, and Message Content Intent. Click on Save Changes button.

  1. On top of the Bot page, in TOKEN section. Click on Reset Token.

  1. It will generate a Bot Token, click on Copy button and paste it somewhere no one can read. We will use this later to activate your shape.

Note: Do not share your bot token with others.
