The [Discord service](https://discordapp.com/) is a platform for the notify component. This allows integrations to send messages to the user using Discord.
In order to get a token you need to go to the [Discord My Apps page](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me) and create a new application. Once the application is ready, create a [bot](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#bots) user (**Create a Bot User**).
## Prerequisites
Retrieve the **Client ID** from the information section and the (hidden) **Token** of your bot for later.
### Creating a Discord Application
In order to create a bot user a Discord Application is required. Go to the [Discord My Apps page](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me) and create a new application.
When setting up the application you can use this [icon](/images/favicon-192x192-full.png).

Once the application is ready, create a [bot](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#bots) user (**Create a Bot User**).
Retrieve the **Application ID** from the 'General Information' section and the (hidden) **Token** of your bot for later.
<div class='note'>
The name you give your application on the [Discord My Apps page](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me) will determine the name of the notify service. For example: if you enter "Discord Chat", the service will be named `notify.discord_chat`.

Bots can send messages to servers and users or attach local available images. To add the bot to a server you are an admin on, get the details of the bot from the [Discord My Apps page](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me).
