How to Add a Bot to Discord in 2026

Discord bots can help server owners automate tasks, moderate members and add useful features to their communities.

What Is a Discord Bot?

A Discord bot is an application that can perform automated actions inside a Discord server.

Depending on the bot, it can provide moderation, welcome messages, tickets, giveaways, levels, automod, custom commands and many other features.

How to Add a Discord Bot

First, find the official website of the Discord bot you want to use.

Look for an Invite or Add to Discord button.

Discord will ask you to choose the server where you want to add the bot. Select your server and review the permissions requested by the bot.

After authorizing the application, the bot will appear in your server.

Check Bot Permissions

Always review the permissions requested by a Discord bot.

Only give an application the permissions it actually needs for the features you want to use.

For important servers, keeping permissions organized is especially useful.

Configure Your Bot

Many modern Discord bots provide a dashboard where server owners can configure their settings.

Wody uses a web dashboard where server owners can configure its modules and settings.
