- Communities, gaming, product support, and early adopter audiences already active in Discord.
- Teams that want DMs and server conversations handled by the same agent.
- Workflows where buttons and structured replies improve navigation inside chat.
Discord channel
Run one Discord bot for DMs and server conversations.
Use Discord when your community or product already lives there and you want AI answers, native buttons, and operator support in the same operational flow.
- Discord joins the same multichannel inbox and operator workflow as your other channels.
- The agent keeps markdown-style formatting and can send native Discord buttons.
- Operators can work the same thread after AI and continue the conversation without leaving the workspace.
- DM is the cleanest first test. Server channels add permissions and bot-intent requirements.
- In server channels the bot normally responds when it is mentioned or when someone replies to its message.
- Discord is a strong channel when you need richer chat UX than plain text only.
Setup instructions
- Open the Discord Developer Portal, create an application, add a bot user, and copy the bot token.
- Open the BldBot workspace, go to the agent page, paste the token into Discord activation, and enable the channel.
- If you need server conversations, open OAuth2 -> URL Generator in the Developer Portal, select the `bot` scope, then generate an invite URL and add the bot to the correct server.
- In Bot Permissions, allow at least View Channels, Send Messages, and Read Message History. Enable Message Content Intent if the bot should react inside server channels.
- First test a real DM to the bot, then test a real mention in a server channel and confirm both dialogs appear in Conversations.
What to verify after activation
- The DM or server dialog appears in Conversations.
- Replies keep Discord formatting and interactive buttons when the response uses them.
- The same dialog can be handled by AI first and an operator second.
Typical issues
- The bot token is wrong or revoked.
- The bot was not invited to the right server or lacks the required permissions.
- Message Content Intent is disabled, so the server looks silent even though DMs work.
