Inviting the Bot to a Server

3. Update the "Scopes" section and then the "Bot Permissions" section. Below is the config we have used:

   Scopes:

   • bot: For OAuth2 bots, this puts the bot in the user's selected guild by default.
   • applications.commands: Allows your app to use commands in a guild.

   Bot Permissions:

   • Read Messages / View Channels: Allows the bot to read and view the channels in the server.
   • Send Messages: Allows the bot to send messages in text channels.
   • Read Message History: Allows the bot to read the message history of text channels.

4. Copy the generated URL from the "Scopes" section and paste it into your browser.

5. Follow the prompts to authorize your bot and add it to your desired server.
