Use Discord

Connect a Discord bot so Dobby posts what waits for you with buttons, sends the daily brief and answers messages.

The easiest way is to choose Discord during dobby init.

To add it later:

Add the bot token to your secrets file.
~/.config/dobby/secrets.env
```
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<your bot token>
```
Turn Discord on.
Terminal
```
dobby add discord
```
Create the channels. It is safe to run again.
Terminal
```
dobby discord setup
```
Add the listener job.
Terminal
```
dobby jobs install
```

Channel	What comes there
`#needs-you`	What waits for you, with Approve and Decline buttons.
`#daily-update`	The morning and evening brief.
`#system-status`	Health checks and pauses.
`#dobby-tickets`	One thread per ticket.

If the buttons do nothing

Turn on the bot's Message Content intent. It is under Bot, Privileged Gateway Intents, in the Discord developer portal.

The bot needs Manage Channels and Manage Webhooks. Invite it again:
