Configuring a Discord Bot

This guide explains how to setup and configure a Discord bot for the Bharat SahAIyak platform.

Getting Credentials

• A discord bot requires a simple webhook as a credential. To get this webhook you need to create a server and a channel or have access to manage a channel.

• Once you have that, you need to go to the settings of that channel (Gear Icon towards the extreme right).

  
  

• In the settings menu, click on Integrations and select Create Webhook.

  
  

• Select New Webhook and copy the webhook url.

  
  

• Set this webhook url as a secret with the key webhookUrl. See Setting Secret Credentials for details.

Here is a sample curl to set the secret:

curl --location 'UCI_API_BASE_URL/admin/secret' \
--header 'Authorization: YOUR_JWT_TOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "variableName": "YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME",
    "secretBody": {
        "webhookUrl": "YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL"
    }
}'
