Discord Bot

Discord Bot

The robomotion discordbot CLI operates a Discord bot to send messages, manage channels and roles, and interact with Discord servers. It supports posting messages, listing channels/members, and performing server administration tasks.

When to use

• Send messages to Discord channels or users
• List channels, members, and roles in a Discord server
• Manage Discord channels and server settings

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install discordbot
• Discord bot token configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install discordbot
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion discordbot connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion discordbot send_message --client-id "<client-id>" --channel-id <channel> --message <text> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion discordbot disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
