# Discord

- DMs and channel `@mentions` create chats in Studio with a Discord badge, and replies route back automatically.
- Friday opens an outbound gateway connection to Discord, so no public webhook or tunnel is required — the bot works from a laptop.
- Setup: register a Discord application, generate a bot token alongside the application ID and public key, then enable the **Message Content Intent** so the bot can read what users send.
- Paste credentials into Studio's Communicators card and use the OAuth2 invite URL to drop the bot into any server you administer.
- Messaging only — slash commands and button handlers aren't supported. Replies to channel mentions land in a thread to keep timelines tidy.
