Inviting your bot is usually quite easy, although sometimes you may receive an error regarding "Bot requires a code grant." This is due to the "Requires OAuth2 Code Grant" setting enabled. You can fix this by doing the following:
Go to the Discord Developer Portal and select your bot's application.
Under your bot's application, go to the Bots tab.
Under the Bots tab, look underneath Authorization Flow and locate REQUIRES OAUTH2 CODE GRANT.
Disable OAUTH2 CODE GRANT.
Retry inviting your Discord bot.
Gateway intents are very important for your bot to function. Intents are required by some BotGhost modules. Intents allow us to choose which events their bot receives based on the data it needs to function, so it is best to enable the intents ahead of time to avoid future errors. If your announcement module, autoresponder module, etc. is not functioning correctly, follow the steps below:
Go to the Discord Developer Portal and select your bot's application.
Under your bot's application, go to the Bots tab.
Under the Bots tab, look underneath Privileged Gateway Intents and enable all the following three: Presence Intent, Server members Intent, & Message Content Intent.
