description: Configure Discord channels on Clawdbot instances for team communication. Use when setting up Discord integration on new bots, adding team bots to Discord servers, or troubleshooting Discord connectivity issues.

Discord Config

Overview

Automate Discord configuration for Clawdbot instances to enable team communication through Discord channels. Handles bot token setup, guild permissions, channel configuration, and connectivity testing.

Configuration Workflow

1. Direct Configuration (Recommended)

Use when you have direct access to the Clawdbot instance:

# Apply Discord configuration
./scripts/configure_discord.sh [BOT_TOKEN] [GUILD_ID] [CHANNEL_ID]

# Test connectivity
./scripts/test_discord.sh [CHANNEL_ID]

2. Remote Configuration via Mesh Network

Use when configuring multiple remote bot instances:

# Send configuration to remote bot via mesh
./scripts/configure_remote_discord.sh [BOT_NAME] [BOT_TOKEN] [GUILD_ID] [CHANNEL_ID]

3. Configuration Verification

After configuration, verify the setup:

1. Check config applied: Look for Discord channel in bot config
2. Test messaging: Send test message to Discord channel
3. Verify mentions: Ensure bot responds when mentioned

Team Discord Settings

Current team Discord configuration:

• Server: Nohire.io
• Guild ID: 1466818873390272677
• Channel: #bot-team
• Channel ID: 1466825803512942813
• Bot Token: (See references/tokens.md)

Important: requireMention: true means bots only respond when @mentioned in Discord.

Troubleshooting

Configuration Issues

Problem: Config patch fails
- Solution: Use the gateway tool directly instead of CLI
- Command: Use gateway config.patch with proper JSON

Problem: SSH access denied for remote configuration
- Solution: Send config via mesh network messaging
- Alternative: Request SSH key access from instance owner

Connectivity Issues

Problem: Test message fails to send
- Check: Discord token validity
- Check: Bot permissions in Discord server
- Check: Channel ID accuracy

Problem: Bot doesn't respond to mentions
- Check: requireMention: true setting in config
- Check: Bot is online and connected to Discord
