<Info>
|
|
Discord integrations are available on [Pro and Enterprise plans](https://mintlify.com/pricing?ref=discord) with access to the assistant.
|
|
</Info>
|
|
|
|
The Discord bot supports your community with real-time answers from your documentation. The bot uses the Mintlify assistant to search your docs and provide accurate, cited responses, so it is always up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
The Discord bot only works in public channels. It replies to `@` mentions or to all messages in a specific channel.
|
|
|
|
Each message sent by the Discord bot counts toward your assistant message usage.
|
|
|
|
## Add the Discord bot to your server
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
You must have the "Manage Server" permission in Discord to add the bot.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the [Assistant](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant) page in your dashboard.
|
|

1. In Discord, select the server you want to add the bot to.
|
|
1. Authorize the bot to access your server.
|
|
1. Mention the bot to add it to a channel. The bot's default name is `@Mintlify Bot`.
|
|
|
|
## Create an `#ask-ai` channel
|
|
|
|
To help your community quickly get answers to their questions, the bot can reply to every message in a channel that you choose. By default, the bot replies to every message in channels named `#ask-ai`. Create an `#ask-ai` channel and let your community know that the bot will reply to messages in that channel.
|
|
|
|
If you want the bot to reply to messages in a different channel, select a channel in the Discord bot [configuration menu](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant/settings/integrations).

## Manage the Discord bot
|
|
|
|
After you add the Discord bot to your server, you can manage or remove the bot from the [Integrations](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant/settings/integrations) tab in your dashboard.
|
|
|
|
In the Discord bot configuration menu, customize the bot by changing its avatar or name, and choose which channel it automatically replies to all messages in.
