Connect Discord

You need

• a Discord account
• permission to add bots to the target server
• a working Eliza backend

1. Create the Discord application

1. Open Discord Developer Portal.
2. Click New Application.
3. Copy the Application ID.
4. Open the Bot tab.
5. Create or reset the bot token and copy it.

2. Enable Message Content Intent

In the Bot tab, turn on Message Content Intent.

3. Invite the bot

1. Open OAuth2 -> URL Generator.
2. Select bot and applications.commands.
3. Give it at least:
   • Send Messages
   • Read Messages / View Channels
   • Use Slash Commands
4. Open the generated URL and add the bot to your server.

4. Connect it in Eliza

1. Open the connectors section.
2. Pick Discord.
3. Paste the bot token.
4. Paste the application ID.
5. Optionally restrict it to specific channels.
6. Save.

5. Test it

Mention the bot in a server channel:

@YourBot hey, are you there?

Recommended defaults

• turn on only respond to mentions in busy servers
• keep ignore bot messages on
• start with a small channel allowlist

If it fails

Bot stays offline

The token is usually wrong.

Bot is online but silent

Usually Message Content Intent is off or the bot lacks channel permissions.

Bot replies in the wrong places

Tighten the channel allowlist.
