Create your Discord bot

Pro runs under your own Discord bot, so it carries your brand. Setting one up is a one-time job of about five minutes. Follow the steps, then paste the token on your Buddy bot page.

You only need this on the Pro plan (white-label bot). On Basic, bumping runs without your own bot, so you can skip this.
  1. 1

    Open the Discord Developer Portal

    Sign in with the Discord account that should own the bot.

    Open Developer Portal
  2. 2

    Create a New Application

    Top-right, click New Application, give it your brand name, accept the terms and create it.

  3. 3

    Add the bot and copy its token

    In the left menu open Bot. Click Reset Token, confirm, then Copy the token.

    ⬦ Treat the token like a password. You only see it once - copy it now.

  4. 4

    Turn on the privileged intents

    On the Bot page, switch on all three: Presence, Server Members and Message Content. Server Members is the one that matters most: without it Discord will not tell your bot who is in your server, so a backup records no member list and nobody's roles can be handed back if the server ever has to be rebuilt. Do it now - we check, and your dashboard will keep asking until it is on.

  5. 5

    Invite the bot to your server

    Left menu, OAuth2, URL Generator. Tick these scopes:

    botapplications.commands

    Then under Bot Permissions tick:

    Manage ChannelsView ChannelsSend MessagesEmbed Links

    Copy the generated URL at the bottom, open it, pick your server and Authorize.

  6. 6

    Paste the token in Zorabot

    Open your Buddy bot page on the dashboard and paste the token. The bot comes online within a minute and sets up its channels.

    Go to my dashboard

Keep the token safe

Your bot token is a password to your bot. Zorabot encrypts it at rest and never shows it again. If it ever leaks, click Reset Token in the portal and paste the new one.
