Discord Bot

Setup & Configuration

Get the ReadyRaider bot running in your Discord server and configure it for your squad.

Inviting the Bot

To add the ReadyRaider bot to your Discord server, click the invite link on the bot overview page. You'll need the Manage Server permission in your Discord server to add bots.

Note

The invite link will request the minimum permissions needed for the bot to function. You can review these before confirming.

Bot Permissions

The ReadyRaider bot needs the following Discord permissions to work correctly:

Permission	Used For
Send Messages	Post raid announcements, tournament updates, and match results
Embed Links	Display rich embeds for raids, tournaments, and brackets
Read Message History	Update previously posted signup embeds when signups change
Use Slash Commands	Register and respond to all slash commands
Add Reactions	React to messages for confirmation and status indicators

Permission integer: 2147485696

Linking Your Server to a Squad

After adding the bot, you need to link your Discord server to a ReadyRaider squad. This connection tells the bot which raids, tournaments, and leagues to show in your server.

Go to Squad Settings

Navigate to your squad page on ReadyRaider and open the settings panel.

Find Discord Integration

Look for the "Discord Integration" or "Connected Services" section in your squad settings.

Link Your Server

Select your Discord server from the dropdown and choose a default channel for announcements. Click "Link Server" to complete the connection.

Warning

You must be the squad owner or an admin to link a Discord server. Each Discord server can be linked to one squad, and each squad can be linked to multiple servers.

Notification Settings

Once your server is linked, you can configure which notifications the bot sends and where it sends them. Each feature (Raids, Tournaments, Leagues) has its own notification settings.

•#raids — Raid announcements and signup embeds
•#tournaments — Tournament registrations, brackets, and results
•#league — League standings, match schedules, and results
