Getting Started

To set up a discord you first need to create an application (basically a bot), here are the steps to follow:

1. Visit Discord Application

2. Click on the "New Application" Button
   

3. Fill in your Application Name
   

4. Now here you will see your newly created application, click on it, and this should open "General Information"

5. If you scroll down, you will se PUBLIC KEY, copy it and place it in environment as DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY

6. Now to create BOT_TOKEN, click on BOT > Reset Token
   

7. Once you have the token, place it against BOT_TOKEN in the environment

8. Now, we will be creating an invite URL and for that, you need to click on OAuth2 > bot
   

9. Now as soon as you click on the bot, a section to choose bot permission from, will show up
   

10. Check the following options

    1. Send Messages
    2. Change Nickname
    3. Manage Nickname

11. Once you select all the bot permissions, scroll a bit down and you will see "Generated URL"
    

12. Copy and paste that URL into the browser, and a prompt will come up that will ask you to select your own "Discord Server"
    

13. Once you add the Bot to your server, copy the "Server Id", by right-clicking on the server avatar. Now place this id in environment against GUILD_ID

Steps to Configure the Interactions Endpoint

1. Paste the URL of Discord Service running on Prod (e.g., https://<subdomain>.<domain>.com or https://<host>:<port>).

2. Open the General Information section of your bot in the Discord Developer Portal by clicking on bot's avatar or on name.

3. Paste the copied URL into the Interactions Endpoint URL field and hit on save button.

   This URL is where Discord will send interaction events for your bot, such as commands or button clicks.
   

4. That’s it! 🚀 Your bot is ready to handle interactions. Try running a /hello command to test it out!
