In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step procedure to invite a Discord bot to your server.

Step 1: Creating a Bot Account

To invite a Discord bot, you first need to create a bot account on the Discord Developer Portal. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal – Visit the Discord Developer Portal and log in with your Discord account.
2. Create a New Application – Click on the “New Application” button and provide a name for your bot.

4. Customize Your Bot – Customize your bot’s username and profile picture according to your preferences.
5. Copy Your Bot Token – Under the “Token” section, click on the “Copy” button to copy your bot’s token. This token is crucial for inviting the bot to servers.

Step 2: Generating an Invitation Link

To invite your newly created Discord bot to your server, you need an invitation link that grants access. Here’s how you generate one:

1. Navigate back to the “OAuth2” tab
2. Scopes – Under the “Scopes” section, select the “bot” checkbox.

With your invitation link ready, you can now invite your Discord bot to your server:

1. Paste the Link – Open a web browser and paste the invitation link you generated in Step 2 into the address bar.
2. Select Server – Choose the server you want to invite the bot to from the drop-down menu. Ensure that you have administrative privileges on that server.
3. Acknowledge Verification – Verify that you’re not a robot by completing any reCAPTCHA or verification prompts if necessary.
4. Authorize the Bot – Click on the “Authorize,” “Invite,” or similar button to authorize and invite the bot to your server.
