Welcome to the guide on using the Custom Commands Bot Discord template on Lazy. This template enables you to establish a Discord bot of learning and responding with customized text commands. It's a way to add a touch to your Discord server without requiring coding expertise.

Getting Started with the Template

Initial Setup

Before utilizing the bot you must configure an environment, for the Discord bot token. Follow these steps to obtain and configure your Discord bot token;

1. Visit the Discord Developer Portal. Establish an application.

Under the "Bot" section simply click on "Add Bot" to generate a bot user. Remember to save the token provided for your bot. In the Lazy Builder head over to the Environment Secrets tab. Create a secret labeled as `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`. Paste the copied token, as its value. To test it out just hit the Test Button.

2. Once you've set up your environment secret give the "Test" button in the Lazy Builder a push. This action will kickstart the deployment process of your Discord bot. Open up the Lazy CLI. No further input from you will be required at this point.

Using the Application

Following deployment your Discord bot will be up. Running for you to utilize. To introduce a personalized command employ the `!. Feature, in your Discord server using this structure;

!addCommand !. Your unique response goes here

For instance if you wish for the bot to reply with "Hello, world!" upon someone typing `!greet` simply input;

!addCommand !greet Hello, world!

When someone types `!greet`, on your Discord server the bot will greet them with a Hello, world!"

Adding the Bot to Platforms
