Set Up Allowed Channels

You need to set up specific channels that your bot is allowed to access. The ‘Allowed Channels’ field is a list of channels your agent will be able to read and post to, and ‘Read Access’ is a list of channels your agent will be able to read from (but not post to).The note field is a description of the channel that would be helpful for you to give to your agent to tell it where to read or post. A good note is something like “AI Server - General Chat”, “Company Server - Marketing Channel”, etc.Discord deployment channelsTo find the channel IDs, first, enable Developer Mode in Discord:

Testing Your Agent

Go to one of the allowed channels and mention your bot in a message. If it responds, you’re all set!

​
Using the Discord Tools

The following tools are available for your agent to use once it is deployed to Discord:
  • discord_post - Post a message to a channel
  • discord_search - Search for messages in a channel
You can use these in a conversation with your agent. Discord tools

​
Troubleshooting

Common issues:
  • Check the bot has “Send Messages” permissions in the channel
  • Verify the channel ID is in the allowed channels list
  • Ensure gateway intents are enabled
  • Ensure the bot shows ‘online’ in the channels you are trying to get it to respond in. If the bot does not show in the sidebar and online, it does not have access to the channel.
For private channels, manually add the bot as a member:
  1. Right-click the channel and click “Edit Channel”
Edit channel
  1. Go to Permissions → Add Members → Add your bot
