Depending on what type of community you\u2019re trying to create, you may want to add a Discord bot to help manage users and keep people engaged. Adding bots doesn\u2019t require a programming degree and there\u2019s no steep learning curve\u2013even beginners to Discord<\/a> can do it!<\/p>\n Discord bots are AI software that perform predefined actions that help you manage your Discord servers and provide ways to enhance community engagement. Discord bots can do anything from welcome new users<\/a> to the server, play music<\/a> in your voice channels, ban troublemakers, schedule events, create \u201cleveling\u201d systems<\/a> for users, and so much more.<\/p>\n There are literally thousands of Discord bots out there, so be sure you only don\u2019t click any links on scammy-looking websites<\/a>. Verify you\u2019re getting the bot from the official source before proceeding.<\/p>\n If you want to add a bot to a Discord server, you must be an administrator of that server. Users with permissions less than administrator won\u2019t be able to add bots to the server.<\/p>\n The first step to adding a bot to your Discord is to head over to the bot\u2019s official website (again, make sure it\u2019s the official website).<\/p>\n Note: In our example, we\u2019ll be adding the <\/em>MEE6 bot<\/em><\/a> to a server, which allows you to greet new members, moderate channels, set up streaming and social media alerts, and more.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n The instructions differ from site to site, but in general, you\u2019ll only need to click a button to begin the process of adding the bot to your Discord server. In some cases, you may need to create an account.<\/p>\n In the MEE6 bot\u2019s case, click \u201cAdd to Discord.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat are Discord bots?<\/h2>\n
