Inviting the bot
Ask whoever manages Updater for your server’s invite link. It uses thebot
and applications.commands scopes — the latter is what registers /games,
/setchannel, and /status as slash commands in your server.
Channel permissions
Updater only needs these two permissions in the one channel you actually use
for notifications — you can scope them down to just that channel instead of
granting them server-wide.
/setchannel checks both permissions in the channel you pick before it
accepts it. If either one is missing, the panel says exactly what’s missing
instead of saving anyway and failing silently later. If the channel no
longer exists — for example it was deleted mid-flow — the panel reports
that too.Command access
Discord enforces this automatically: members without Manage Server can’t
run
/games or /setchannel in the first place. /status is deliberately
open so anyone can check what’s tracked and whether delivery is healthy
without needing elevated access.
