Go to the Discord Developer Portal.
- Click "New Application" and name it (this will be your bot's username).

- Important: Scroll down to "Privileged Gateway Intents" and enable Message Content Intent.

Connect Weavin to Discord ~1 min
Back in Weavin, navigate to the "Integrations" tab of your Avatar.
- Select Discord.
- Paste the Token you copied from the Discord Developer Portal.
- Click "Connect". Weavin will generate an Invite Link for you.
Invite and Test <1 min
Click the generated Invite Link to add the bot to your server. Ensure the bot has permissions to Read Messages and Send Messages in the channels you want it to operate. Tag your new bot (e.g., @MyBot) and say hello!
