Add Channel ID

Go to the integration page and add the channel ID by copying and pasting the channel ID. Right-click on the channel settings icon to copy the channel ID.

Enable Developer Mode

To get the Channel ID, first enable Developer mode. From Discord Settings → Click on Advanced → Enable the Developer mode.

Start Chatting

Now you can chat with the YGC AI Chatbot in your server.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a developer portal account for Discord. If not, sign up at Discord Developer Portal.

Visit the URL Discord Developer Applications and create a new application.

Obtain Application Credentials

Copy the Application ID and the Public Key.

Create a Bot and Generate Token

Create a Bot within your application and generate a Token for the bot. Copy the token.

Enable the Bot

Enable the bot using the copied credentials within the Discord Developer Portal.

Obtain Webhook

Copy the Webhook URL for your bot.

Integration Process

Paste the copied Webhook URL into your application. Successful integration means the webhook is added; otherwise, update the integration credentials with the correct data.

Add Permissions

Go to OAuth 2 → Bot permissions. Grant the Bot necessary text permissions. Copy the generated URL and paste it to your browser to add the bot to your server.

Test the Integration

To initiate a conversation, you must use chat slash commands. For instance, you can type /ask.

Enable Ping Mode

In your YourGPT dashboard, go to the Discord integration settings. Under the Custom Bot section, scroll to Ping Mode and toggle it ON.

Copy the Webhook URL and Webhook Secret that appear — you will need these when setting up your bot.

Choose How Your Bot Responds

Configure the following settings in the Ping Mode section:

Trigger — when the bot should respond:

• @ Mention Bot — responds only when a user @mentions your bot. Best for public channels.
• Direct Message — responds to every message in the monitored channels. Best for dedicated support or Q&A channels.

Reply Mode (for @ Mention Bot only):

• Thread — starts a new thread for each conversation, keeping the main channel clean.
• Channel — replies directly in the channel.

Channel IDs — enter specific channel IDs to limit which channels the bot monitors. Leave blank to monitor all channels.

Enable Message Content Intent

Go to Discord Developer Portal → your app → Bot → scroll to Privileged Gateway Intents → enable MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT → click Save Changes.

Set Up and Run Your Bot

Download the bot from our GitHub repository and follow the setup instructions in the README:

github.com/YourGPT/custom-discord-server

Use the Webhook URL and Webhook Secret from Step 1 when configuring the bot.

Test the Integration

• @ Mention Bot: type @YourBot hello in your Discord channel.
• Direct Message: send any message in a monitored channel.

The bot will reply with an AI-generated response.
