Your bot requires certain permissions in order to work as intended. These permissions can be granted to your bot from the Discord Developer Portal in the "Bot" section.
By default, BotGhost automatically sets all intents to "Auto" to automatically adapt them basing on what your bot needs to run. If you however want to force enable / disable one or more of them, you can do that here. For example, you can set the "Server Members Intent" to "Always Disable", allowing you to disable it on the Discord Developer Portal. If this change stops your bot from running, this means the bot requires this intent to work, and you should turn it back on.
Below, you may find some information on each intent.
Allows the bot to receive presence updates. For example, when the status of a user changes.
Allows your bot to receive updates on your server members. For example, when an user joins or leaves the server (which makes this intent required for welcome / leave messages).
All intents can be updated to the following states:
Auto
Always Enable
Set the intent's state this option if you want the selected intent to always be required for your bot.
Never Enable
Pick this option if you want the intent to never be enabled on your bot.
Disabling certain privileged intents will cause some bot functions to not work correctly. Update them at your own risk.
Here you may view your subscriptions information and update them on the Chargebee portal by clicking on the "Manage Subscription" button. See Manage Your Subscription for more info.
If you received one, you may claim the premium code from this section. Make sure you're on the correct bot before claiming it. If it's a GIFT code, headover to the Gifting page instead and claim it here.
BotGhost automatically determines if the intent is required for yout bot to work.
Note that this only checks if there are any enabled modules or events that require this intent. Variables like {Member.presence} (check out the page for more information) require you to manually set the intent to "Always Enable", unless you already have one or more events that make use of the required intent.
