Discord Settings

Setup your discord channels and your reactions and invite the bot into your channel.

Create the channels

First thing to do is create a few channels where you receive your notifications.

!!! note: I won't be explaining how to setup a discord channel, that's up to you but google has plenty of references.

You can do it all from one channel or separate the notifications (granular) for each trigger if you want.

Simple channel setup

#media => All the *arr notifications you setup in Notification Settings.

#errors => Health checks, network errors, etc.

#plex => Play, resume, etc. for Plex.

After you create the needed channels, it's time to add them to the Setup the channels

First we need to get the channel ID's from your server/channel

Open your User Settings -> Appearance -> Enable Developer Mode.

Right click on the Discord text channel you want the bot to interact with and press "Copy ID"

Paste the channel ID in the corresponding boxes.

Add the channel ID for the #media channel.
Add the channel ID for the #errors channel.
Add the channel ID for the #plex channel.
Use this option if you want to use separate channels for the notifications (see below).
Use this option if you want to use separate channels for the notifications.

Invite the bot

It's time to invite the bot in to your Server/Channels by clicking on the following link.

You will get a screen that looks like the following screenshot.

Select the server the bot should join.
Click on Authorize to approve.

!!! note: You have to be an administrator of the Discord channel to invite bots. Make sure the bot has permissions to post.

??? summary "Bot Setup Help" Right click on your server > Server Settings > Roles

If you have a Bot role you can skip this, otherwise click the + next to ROLES

Name the role Bot and scroll down to Text Permissions.

Enable `Send Messages`, `Embed Links` & `Add Reactions`

Go back to your server, right click on the Media Bot and assign the role of Bot

Reactions

Here we will setup the Discord Notifier reactions(emoji's) that will be shown during a playback in plex, or during a download/import in Sonarr/Radarr.

This section exist of 2 parts.

*arr state (grab/failed) and play state of plex.
The Trackers/Indexers.

First we're going to download the emoji's and you can do that in 2 ways.

1 at a time - Right click -> Save As... - for these emoji images to some location on your computer.
Pack Download - Click here{:target="_blank"} to download a zip of all the current reaction images.

For this example, we will be using Pack Download. You'll need download the file and then unpack it somewhere on your computer. After which, you can then add the emoji's to your Discord Server easily.

How to add your own Emoji's => LINK{:target="_blank"}

After you've added them to your Discord Server it's time to get the ID's from your emoji's, to do this go in to one of your channels and type:

\:emoji_name:

??? example "Example"

What results in to.

![dn-emoji-result](images/dn-emoji-result.png)

So your ID would be `:grab:706535455876710461`.

Paste the ID results from your channel in to the corresponding boxes.

Do this for all the other boxes also including your Trackers/Indexers.

Trackers and Indexers

Paste here the the emoji ID.
The actual indexer name you're using in Sonarr/Radarr.

??? example "Example"

![dn-indexer-torznab](images/dn-indexer-torznab.png)

What will result in to.

![dn-indexer-torznab-result](images/dn-indexer-torznab-result.png)

If you use a different name in Sonarr and Radarr just add them with a comma `BeyondHD - Jackett,BHD`.

Don't forget to click on Save Changes !!!

!!! note After pasting the Emoji's ID in to the box you will notice that the leading colon will disappear nothing to worry about that's per design
