After this, a dashboard for your bot will open. Give your bot a nice profile picture if you want to. It's recommended you switch off the `Public Bot` option. That way, no one except yourself will be able to add this bot to their server. Lastly, copy the token and paste this in your notepad.
Enable the "Presence Intent", "Server Members" and "Message content" intent within the dashboard.

`Copy` the link and paste it in your address bar. A new screen will open: choose your server and select all options. Click on `Authorize` and your bot should be offline in your server.
