Custom bot instructions

Pre-requisites​

Use custom Discord bot token to use your existing bot or create a new bot with custom avatar and everything! You need at least the "custom bot" plan to use this feature.

Create a new custom bot​

  1. Create a new bot here: https://discord.com/developers/applications

  2. Choose a name, upload the avatar for the bot, type a description

    Create bot

  3. Navigate to “Bot” page.

  4. Enable “Message content intent” in the “bot” page so the bot will be able to see user's message content (the questions they ask)

    Enable message intent

  5. Copy the bot token from the “Bot” page. The token should never be shared to others as it’s the password/secret for the bot. Enter the bot token here: https://panel.wallubot.com/custom-bot in the “bot token” field. Wallu will use this token to connect to your bot.

    Copy bot token

Invite your custom bot to your server:​

  1. Copy the “Client ID” from here: https://discord.com/developers/applications/973282202894872696/oauth2/general

  2. Add the CLIENT_ID without <> to form the invite link:
    https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&permissions=274878024769&scope=bot

    See example

  3. Open the link in your browser to add the bot to your server

  4. When you see that the custom bot is online on your server, you can kick the "normal Wallu" bot from your server. Otherwise, both bots will respond to the same questions.

  5. Test the bot can read messages with !wallu. If not, check the step #4.

That should be all on your part. Your bot should be running soon. You can still access the same panel: https://panel.wallubot.com/
