Discord
Connect a Discord bot to reach your representative in direct messages or an approved server.
Connect the bot
- Create an application in the Discord Developer Portal.
- Open Bot, create or reset the token, and copy it. Treat it like a password.
- In Zinley, open Configure → Your Zinley → Connections → Chat apps → Discord and save the token.
- Copy the Interactions Endpoint URL shown by Zinley into the application's General Information page in Discord.
- Use Zinley's invite link if you want the bot in a server. You need permission to manage that server.
Commands and access
/ask <message>asks Zinley to handle a request./newstarts a fresh conversation./clearclears and archives the current conversation.
Access is based on Discord user ID, not display name:
- Owners can use your representative with your account context and allowed tools.
- Guests receive privacy-limited access without your private context or devices.
- Everyone else receives no access.
Server chat is off by default. Enable it only after reviewing the access list.
If it does not respond
Check the Interactions Endpoint URL first. Then confirm that the command is registered, server chat is enabled where needed, and the sender's numeric user ID is in the correct list.
Discord has no AI model button. It uses Configure → Speed & Model → Default model, shares your normal credit balance, and keeps external-action approvals in force. An AI model selected in direct Chat does not change this account default. Disconnect Discord in Zinley and reset the Discord token when you want to revoke access completely. See Choose the right AI model setting.
Next, review Authority & approvals before adding owners, or compare other connected services.
