Connecting apps

Connect Discord

Create a Discord bot, invite it to your server, and paste its token into Tyrbo to send and react to messages.

Discord connections use a bot token. Your automations act as the bot: it posts messages, reads channels, and reacts to new members.

Create the bot and get the token

  1. Go to discord.com/developers/applications.
  2. Click New Application (or open an existing one) and name it — this is the name your server members will see.
  3. In the left sidebar, open Bot.
  4. Click Reset Token (first time: Add Bot), confirm, and copy the token.

Invite the bot to your server

  1. Still in the developer portal, open OAuth2 → URL Generator.
  2. Under scopes tick bot; under bot permissions tick at least Send Messages, Read Message History, and View Channels.
  3. Open the generated URL, pick your server, and authorize.

For the New Message trigger, also enable Message Content Intent under Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents, or the trigger will see empty message bodies.

Paste it into Tyrbo

Choose a Discord action or trigger, click New connection, and paste the token into the Bot Token field.
