## Invite HalloweenBot

You can invite HalloweenBot directly using the official Discord invite link:

[Invite HalloweenBot](<https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=852564657674649636>)

You will be redirected to Discord, where you can choose which server you want to add HalloweenBot to.

## Select Your Server

On the Discord authorisation page, use the **Add to Server** dropdown to select the Discord server where you want to install HalloweenBot.

You must have sufficient permissions on the selected server to add applications.

Once you have selected your server, click **Continue**.

## Review Permissions

Discord will display the permissions requested by HalloweenBot.

These permissions allow HalloweenBot to provide its features correctly, including sending messages, displaying embeds, accessing configured channels, and managing roles where required.

Review the requested permissions and click **Authorize**.

You may also need to complete Discord's CAPTCHA verification before HalloweenBot is added to your server.

## Check HalloweenBot Has Joined

Once authorised, HalloweenBot should appear in your Discord server's member list.

You can also confirm that HalloweenBot has been installed by visiting the [HalloweenBot Dashboard](<https://dash.halloweenbot.com/>).

Sign in with your Discord account and open the **Servers** page.

Servers where you have **Manage Server** permission will appear in the list.

If HalloweenBot is installed, the server will show **Bot Installed** and a **Manage** button.

Select **Manage** to open the server's configuration page.

## Configure HalloweenBot

Most HalloweenBot settings are managed through the [HalloweenBot Dashboard](<https://dash.halloweenbot.com/>).

After adding the bot:

1. Open the [HalloweenBot Dashboard](<https://dash.halloweenbot.com/>).

2. Sign in with your Discord account.

3. Select **Servers**.

4. Find the server you want to configure.

5. Click **Manage**.

6. Configure the features you want to use.

Depending on the features you enable, HalloweenBot may require additional channel or role permissions.

## Bot Not Appearing in the Dashboard

If you have invited HalloweenBot but your server does not appear in the dashboard, check the following:

- Make sure you are signed in with the correct Discord account.

- Make sure your Discord account has **Manage Server** permission.

- Confirm that HalloweenBot is still a member of the server.

- Refresh the **Servers** page in the HalloweenBot Dashboard.

- Check that Discord is not currently experiencing an outage.

If your server still does not appear, contact SeasonalBots Support.

## Missing Permissions

HalloweenBot may be installed successfully but still be unable to use certain features if it does not have the required permissions.

Check HalloweenBot's role in your Discord server and make sure it has access to the channels where you want it to operate.

Some features may require permissions such as:

- View Channels

- Send Messages

- Embed Links

- Attach Files

- Read Message History

- Manage Roles

> HalloweenBot's role must be positioned above any roles that you want the bot to manage.

Only grant permissions that are required for the features you plan to use.

## Removing HalloweenBot

You can remove HalloweenBot at any time by kicking it from your Discord server.

Removing the bot will prevent it from operating in your server.

Some saved configuration may remain associated with your server so that your settings can be restored if HalloweenBot is added again in the future.

## Next Steps

Now that HalloweenBot has been added to your server, open the [HalloweenBot Dashboard](<https://dash.halloweenbot.com/>) and click **Manage** next to your server to begin configuring its features.
