> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://bsquidwrd.gitbook.io/livebot-docs/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://bsquidwrd.gitbook.io/livebot-docs/required-permissions.md). # Required Permissions * Send Messages * Embed Links * Used to send the actual notifications * Read Message History * Used for retrieving old messages the bot itself has sent * Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles * Mention the role you select during setup (if any) * Use External Emojis #### Note: If the above permissions are assigned to the Bot on the Server level, but you're still having issues, please make sure to check the permissions on the channel you are setting up the bot to send notifications in AND the channel you are running the commands in (if they aren't the same channel) If you run into any difficulties, and just want it to "work", you can try assigning "Administrator" to the role `Live Bot` for the Discord Server. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://bsquidwrd.gitbook.io/livebot-docs/required-permissions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
