How To Make A Discord Bot?

If you want to build a community or keep the existing one engaged, you must know how to make a Discord bot. The best thing is anyone can create one and you don’t need any special access.

Bots on Discord carry out multiple tasks for you on your servers, from playing music on Discord to sending automated messages on servers from time to time. They come to your rescue when you have a tight schedule and cannot manage multiple servers at the same time. In this guide, we’ll help you with a detailed process of how to make a Discord bot.

How To Make A Bot On Discord?

Creating a Discord bot account will let you work with the library and Discord API. You will have to log into Discord from the website and not the app. Here are the steps on how to create a Discord bot account:

1. Open Discord and click on the Settings icon.
2. Select Advanced in the ‘App settings’ tab and click on the hyperlink for ‘Developer API.’
3. In the left sidebar, select Applications and click on ‘New application’ at the top right corner of the screen.
4. Name your application and click on Create.
5. Select Bot from the left sidebar and click on ‘Add bot.’
6. Click on ‘Yes, do it!’ and then just turn the toggle on for ‘Public bot.’

Make sure you copy the token and save it somewhere, as you will need it later. Now you are ready to add a bot to any server you want.

How To Code A Discord Bot?

Once you have a Discord bot, you will need to code it for it to follow commands. But before you get to coding a bot, you need to add the bot to a server. Let’s see how to add a bot to any server:

1. In Discord developers application, select OAuth2 and then go to ‘URL generator’ to find a link.
2. Select Bots in Scope and then select all the ‘Bot permissions’ you want your bot to have.
3. Copy the URL generated at the bottom and paste it into the server you want to add the bot to.
4. Click on the link in the server and select the name of the server.
5. Finally, click Authorize.

Now you can write your code for the bot the way you like in the code editor and in the language of your preference.

You don’t need to be a developer to get bots on Discord. Sometimes there is a little coding you might need to do, like with BetterDiscord but creating a bot in Discord requires no actual knowledge of coding; you just need to have a Discord account. Once you have a Discord account, you can easily create a bot to carry out your actions on Discord for you.

Hopefully, now you have learned how to make a Discord bot.
