Connect Discord
Add Fetchply to a Discord server so members get agent answers with the /ask command.
Add Fetchply to Discord
Open Integrations → Discord, select Add to Discord, choose the server, and approve the requested permissions. Only servers where you have the Manage Server permission appear in the list.
Test the /ask command
In any channel of the connected server, type /ask, pick the command from the picker, enter a question, and send it. Confirm that the answer comes from the selected agent's knowledge.
Share it with your members
Anyone in the server can use /ask in channels where the bot is available. Each answer is posted in the channel as a reply to the question.
One Discord server connects to one agent. Connecting a server that another agent already uses moves it to the new agent, and connecting your agent to a different server removes the bot from the previous one. Disconnecting removes the stored Discord connection, removes the bot from the server, and stops agent replies.
How answers work
- Members ask questions with the
/askcommand. The bot does not reply to regular messages, mentions, or direct messages. - While the answer is prepared, Discord shows a "thinking" indicator on the command. Long answers are split into several messages.
- Conversations appear in your Fetchply inbox like every other channel, and each answered question counts as a message in your monthly plan.
- If a team member has taken over a member's conversation from the inbox,
/asktells that member a team member will follow up instead of sending an automatic answer.
Troubleshooting
- The /ask command does not appear: The command is registered when the server is connected. Disconnect and reconnect from Integrations → Discord, then type
/again in the server. Discord may need a few seconds and sometimes a client restart to show new commands. - The command answers "This server is not connected": The connection was removed or moved to another agent. Reconnect from Integrations → Discord.
- The bot was removed from the server by an admin: Fetchply cannot answer there anymore. Reconnect from Integrations → Discord to add the bot back; your agent setup is kept.
- The answer says the agent is not ready: Finish training the agent in the dashboard first, and make sure the agent is enabled.
- Members get no answer at all: Check the connection status on Integrations → Discord, and confirm the question was sent through
/askrather than as a normal message. - Connection status cannot be loaded: Check your internet connection, then select Try again. Fetchply does not mark the server as disconnected or change its setup when this check fails. Wait briefly and retry before reconnecting.
- Repeating a question: Sending the same
/askquestion twice sends two answers and counts two messages; the command has no memory of duplicates.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to create my own Discord app or bot? No. The Add to Discord button installs the managed Fetchply app; there are no credentials to copy.
- Can the bot chat without the /ask command? Not yet. Free-form conversations (mentions and DMs) are not supported on Discord.
- How many servers can I connect? One server per agent. Create another agent to serve another server.
- Are answers private? No. Answers are posted in the channel where
/askwas used, visible to everyone who can see that channel.
