# Connections **What is a connection?** A **Connection** links FlexyBot to your Discord server, enabling it to interact, send messages, manage roles, and more. Without a connection, your bot won’t function in Discord. The Discord Bot connection is a **Live** integration that requires an active connection to work properly. **Adding a Connection** To connect FlexyBot to Discord, follow these steps: 1. While inside your project, go to **Connections** page, then click the **“Add Connection”** button to start the setup. 2. Select **“Discord Bot”** from the available options. 3. Enter a name for your bot, paste your bot token, and click **Save.** 4. Then click on the **"Invite 'your bot' into a Discord Server".** Fill in all the login information and select your server. Your first automation guide is waiting for you on the next page, "Auto Message Automation". --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
