OAuth2

Navigate to Settings->OAuth2 in the newly created app menu.

In the OAuth2 URL Generator panel, check messages.read in the center column and bot in the rightmost column of the SCOPES checkbox list.

Then in the BOT PERMISSIONS checkbox list that appears, check the following items:

• View Channels
• Send Messages
• Send Messages in Threads
• Attach Files
• Mention Everyone
• Add Reactions

Copy and past the GENERATED URL link that is generated to install the bot in your channel.

Bot

Navigate to Settings->Bot in the newly created app menu.

Ensure that MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT is checked.

Reset your token under the TOKEN section and copy this securely.

Managing tokens

You should have an token from the above steps.

These can be configured directly on the DiscordAdapterConfig:

from csp_adapter_discord import DiscordAdapterConfig

config = DiscordAdapterConfig(token="YOUR TOKEN")

Alternatively, this could be stored in a local file and the configuration will read them:

.gitignore

.token

.token

<YOUR TOKEN>

from csp_adapter_discord import DiscordAdapterConfig

config = DiscordAdapterConfig(token=".token")
