Basics
Creating a Discord application
Get a bot token, set intents and connect it to Bottly.
Open the Discord Developer Portal and press New Application.
Go to the Bot tab, press Reset Token and copy it.
Enable the intents your bot needs — Message Content only if you actually read message text.
In Bottly open Settings → Bot token, paste the token and save.
Bottly verifies the token against Discord, encrypts it and stores it server-side. It is never kept in your browser and never sent back to it. If you reset the token in Discord, paste the new one in Bottly — the old one stops working immediately.
Inviting the bot
Use the invite link on the Overview tab. It already includes the
bot and applications.commands scopes; without the second one your slash commands never appear.
