Step 3: Generate a Bot Token

1. In your newly created application, navigate to the “Bot” tab on the left sidebar.

2. Click “Add Bot”, confirm the action, and customize your bot’s profile.
3. Click “Reset Token”, then copy and store the token securely (tokens can only be viewed once).
4. Enable all three Privileged Gateway Intents (Presence Intent, Server Members Intent, and Message Content Intent) and click Save Changes.

Step 4: Configure OAuth2 and Permissions
