How to add Discord
Connect your Discord server to Guild so you can give members Discord roles as rewards and easily onboard your community.
Connect Discord to your Guild
1. Add Guild bot to your Discord server
Go to your role's rewards section and click "Add reward"
Select Discord from the reward options
Select which Discord server you want to connect (you must be an admin of that server to see it listed)
Click the "Invite" button in the popup and complete the authorization process
Return to adding a Discord reward and select your connected server
Create a new Discord role on Guild or Guildify an existing Discord role
Members can claim the Discord role automatically when they meet your requirements
2. Set bot permissions
Important: Move the Guild bot to the top of your Discord server's "Roles" tab (this ensures it can manage roles below it)
To manage bot permissions, go to the Guild bot and select "Edit"
The bot needs specific permissions to work properly:
Must-have: Manage Roles (required to give/remove Discord roles)
Recommended: Manage Server, Create Invite (helps with server management and invite creation)
Good-to-have: Manage Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links (needed for join buttons)
3. Drive Discord members to Guild
Create a "get-roles" channel on your Discord server
Write a description explaining what roles members can claim and why they should join
Share your Guild link (era.guild.xyz/YOURPROJECT)
Pin the message so it's always visible to new members
How it works for members
Simple flow:
Members can discover your Guild through Discord or find your Discord through Guild
They connect their Discord account to their Guild profile
They complete the requirements you've set
They automatically receive the Discord role
They gain access to gated channels and perks
Most projects manage all their Discord roles through Guild. If you have existing Discord roles, you can connect them to Guild roles without creating new ones.
