How to Get Discord IDs
To set up your bot, we need IDs for your server, channels, and roles. This requires a quick one-time setting in your Discord client.

- Navigate to the Advanced tab.
- Turn on the **Developer Mode** toggle.
2. Copy Your IDs
With Developer Mode enabled, just right-click on the server, channel, or role you want.
Server ID
Right-click your server's icon → "Copy Server ID".
Channel IDs
Right-click any voice/text channel name → "Copy Channel ID".
Role IDs
In Server Settings → Roles, right-click the role → "Copy Role ID".
