Setup Discord Notification Bot

This page is a walkthrough guide for connecting the TradeServer Cloud to Discord. Once connected to the Discord server, TradeServer Cloud will create several channels and push your notifications to those channels. These notifications can come from manual orders or bots.

Do not connect the bot to an existing server. The bot will manage the channels and remove unknown/obsolete ones
