Introduction
Do you want to connect your Voicebot to your TeamSpeak server, but you don't really know how to do it yet? No worries, in the following we will explain to you in detail how to do this!
Connecting the bot to your TeamSpeak
To connect your voice bot to your TeamSpeak 3 server, you have to call it up in the control panel. Then, you will go to the Server on the left as shown below:
Now you can select a TeamSpeak under Server if this has also been booked with your account. If this is hosted externally, you can select Custom Teamspeak Server there as well.
The data can then be entered below, then just save and the voice bot connects to your TeamSpeak 3 server, here is an example:
Connecting the bot to your Discord
To connect your voice bot to your Discord, you have to go to Server, then you will have to select Discord.
The Discord Bot Token and Discord Bot Client ID must then be entered. Then, the voice bot connects to your Discord server.
Getting your Discord Bot Token and Client ID
Since your Discord server doesn't have a direct IP address or port, there are a few steps to prepare before you can use your bot on a Discord server.
Creating a Discord Application
The first thing you need to do is create a Discord application. Your bot is then assigned to it and acts under its name. To create such an application, please access the Discord Developer Portal.
Now, you will create a new application by clicking on New Application and now you can assign a name as seen below:
Then, you create the appplication by clicking on Create. For the following steps, please write down the application ID now:
Configuring Bot and Getting Token
When creating an application, a bot is automatically created as well. You can easily get the token, by clicking Reset Token. Then, you will receive a user token which you should also note or write down somewhere:
Do not reveal the bot token to anyone so that your bot can work undisturbed and cannot cause a security issue. The token is like a secret key and should not be shared.
On the same page, you have to scroll a little down and enable the Presence Intent, Server Members Intent and Message Content Intent, then save your changes:
Inviting Bot to your Discord
To invite the bot, you have to insert the previously noted client ID in the following link at the appropriate place and then open the link in your browser and add the bot to your Discord server. It should look like this example:
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=1364549558197026816&scope=bot&permissions=0
Configure the Bot's Panel
Now, you add the previously noted token and the client ID into the fields provided in the ZAP-Hosting control panel and press Save at the bottom:
Then, you can start the bot. It should then connect to your Discord server within about 10 seconds.
