## Creating and configuring a Discord Server

### Create a Discord Server

To initiate the integration process, you'll need a Discord Server. If you don't have a Discord account, visit [discord.com](https://discord.com) and create one. Once logged in, follow [this guide to create your Discord server](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/204849977-How-do-I-create-a-server-).

### Create a Discord Application

Go to [discord.com/developers/applications](https://discord.com/developers/applications) while logged in to your Discord account and create a new application.

### Configure Your Discord Application

Before adding your bot to the server, enable the **Message Content Intent** for your application. This allows your bot to read messages sent by users on your server.

### Add the Bot to Your Discord Server

Now you need to add your bot to your server. The way to do it is to construct a Discord URL and paste it into your browser:

```
https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<YOUR CLIENT ID>&permissions=309237712896&scope=bot
```

**Where does the permissions number come from?**

The permissions number (`309237712896`) comes from requesting the following permissions:

- `Send Messages`
- `Create Public Threads`
- `Send Messages in Threads`
- `Read Message History`

Those are the minimal set of permissions required for your bot to operate correctly. You can see it for yourself by going to [discord.com/developers/applications](https://discord.com/developers/applications), selecting your application, clicking on **Bot** on the left and scrolling down:

**Where to find YOUR CLIENT ID?**

The easiest way will be to look at the address bar in your browser and copy the long number which is part of the address:

```
https://discord.com/developers/applications/<YOUR CLIENT ID>/bot
```

![Your client ID](https://docs.quickchat.ai/_astro/client-id.Z-Mljq23.png)

In this case the client id is **1234567890123456789** which means that the full URL you need to go to to add the server will be:

```
https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1234567890123456789&permissions=309237712896&scope=bot
```

## Integrate Your Discord Bot with Quickchat AI

To connect your bot with **Quickchat AI**, retrieve your **Discord Bot Token** from the [Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).

1. Go to **Bot Settings** → **Reset Token** → **Copy Token**

2. In the **Quickchat AI Dashboard**, head to **External Applications**, enable the **Discord Bot Integration** and paste your token.

## 🎉 Your AI Bot is Live!

Head back to **Discord** - your bot should be **online** and ready to chat! Just **@mention** it to start a conversation. 🤖💬

![Bot active](https://docs.quickchat.ai/_astro/bot-active.CoUvIYHf.png)

When **@mentioned**, the bot will reply to users in a thread. Users can continue the conversation inside the thread without mentioning the bot.
