How to Set Up the Discord Webhook

Prerequisites

• Have administrative access to the Discord server

Step 1: Install the Arkyn bot on the server

1. Access the bot's Authorization URL
2. Select the Discord server where you want to install the bot.
3. Make sure the necessary permissions are checked:

• Read Messages/View Channels: To access channels.
• Send Messages: To send notifications.
• Read Message History: To check previous messages.

4. Click "Authorize" to install the bot.

Step 2: Get the Channel ID

1. In Discord, go to User Settings (gear icon).
2. In Application Settings, enable Developer Mode.
3. Navigate to the channel where you want to receive notifications.
4. Right-click the channel name.
5. Select "Copy ID" from the context menu.
6. Save this ID—you'll need it to set up the webhook.

Step 3: Configure Channel Permissions

1. Right-click the channel
2. Select "Edit Channel"
3. Go to the "Permissions" tab
4. Find the bot in the members/roles list
5. Make sure the following permissions are enabled:

• ✅ View Channel
• ✅ Send Messages
• ✅ Read Message History

Step 4: Create the Webhook in the API

1. Access the [webhook creation endpoint](/api /api/webhook/createwebhook)
2. Use the channel ID copied in Step 2
3. Create the bot with the channel ID, choosing the discord type. The severity level should be fatal, warning, or info.

Verification

1. Send a test message via the API
2. Verify that the notification appears in the configured Discord channel
3. Confirm that the message format is correct

Troubleshooting

Bot not appearing on the server

• Check that you have administrative permissions on the server
• Try reinstalling the bot using the authorization URL

Messages not sent

• Confirm that the channel ID is correct
• Check the bot's permissions in the channel
• Make sure the webhook is enabled in the API

Bot without permissions

• Access the channel settings
• Add the necessary permissions manually
• Or adjust the bot's role permissions on the server

Important Notes

• The channel ID is unique and specific to each channel
• Permissions can be inherited from the server settings
• Keep the channel ID secure, as it grants access to the specific channel
• The bot will only work on servers where it has been authorized
