Setup a Custom Bot
Create a Discord application, copy its bot token and client secret, add the OAuth2 redirect URL, and connect your custom bot to RestoreCord.
Recommended Flow
Use the setup steps inside the RestoreCord Dashboard. Open Bots, choose Add New Bot, and follow the wizard. It validates the token, client secret, and redirect URL as you go.
- Go to the RestoreCord Dashboard and open Bots.
- Click Add New Bot.
- Follow the dashboard wizard to create the Discord application, paste credentials, and confirm the redirect URL.
- Finish the wizard, then invite the bot when RestoreCord shows it in your bot list.
Quick Manual Setup
If you are setting up the Discord application manually, keep the process short:
Create an application
Open the Discord Developer Portal, click New Application, and choose a recognizable bot name and avatar.
Create the bot and copy the token
Open Bot, create the bot user if needed, then copy or reset the bot token. Treat it like a password.
Add the redirect URL
Still in OAuth2, add this redirect URL and save changes:
https://restorecord.com/api/callback
Using a custom domain?
Follow the Complete Domain Setup prompt; it tells you which redirect URL to add and when. See Custom Domain. The Discord redirect option needs two redirect URLs instead. To hide restorecord.com from members, see Hide restorecord.com from the Redirect.
Paste credentials in RestoreCord
Return to the RestoreCord Dashboard and fill out the bot setup fields.
Slash commands are loaded automatically after the bot is connected. You do not need to register commands manually in Discord.
