Connect apps

Discord

  1. Create an application/bot in the Discord Developer Portal.
  2. Enable Message Content Intent and retain the bot token privately.
  3. During the common setup, run hermes gateway setup and select Discord.
  4. Use the invitation flow and set permitted numeric user IDs in DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS.
  5. Restart and test by DM or by mentioning the bot in a permitted channel.

Grant message/file permissions as needed; Administrator is unnecessary. The default server-channel behavior expects a mention.
