Log in to your Discord account, and click on the small “gear” icon near your username on the bottom left. On the next page click on the blue button that reads “Enable Two-Factor Auth” A pop-up window will appear for you to scan the QR Code with your Authy app. Keep this window open as you reach for your phone. Before you can put your bot online and bring it to life, you have to (1) Create a bot application through Discord (2) Generate a secret token that’ll act as the “key” to controlling your bot, and (3) Have your bot.

Before you're able to see your bot in your own (or other) servers, you'll need to add it by creating and using a unique invite link using your bot application's client ID.
# Bot invite links
The basic version of one such link looks like this:
The structure of the url is quite simple:
- The first part is just Discord's standard structure for authorizing an OAuth2 application (such as your bot application) for entry to a Discord server.
- The second part that says
client_id=...is to specify which application you want to authorize. You'll need to replace this part with your client's ID to create a valid invite link. - Lastly, the third part, which says
scope=bot, specifies that you want to add this application as a Discord bot.
TIP
A permissions parameter also exists to restrict or guarantee the permission your bot will have on the server you are adding it to. For ease of use, it is recommended to use this(opens new window) website.

WARNING
If you get an error message saying 'Bot requires a code grant', then head over into your application's settings and disable the 'Require OAuth2 Code Grant' option. You usually shouldn't enable this checkbox unless you know why you need to.
# Creating and using your invite link
As mentioned above, you'll need to replace the client_id parameter with your client's ID to generate your invite link. To find your app's ID, head back to the My Apps(opens new window) page under the 'Applications' section once again and click on your bot application.
