Connecting Discord to your Rust Pulse server
Authorise the Rust Pulse alert bot to post into your Discord, then pair channels for the kinds of alerts you want.
Connecting your own Discord server to Rust Pulse so it can post alerts is a two-step process: authorise the bot to join your server, then pair specific channels to alert kinds.
1. Authorise the bot
From the dashboard:
- Open Settings → Discord.
- Click Connect Discord.
- Discord asks which server to add the Rust Pulse bot to and which permissions to grant. Allow.
- You're bounced back to the dashboard with a confirmation.
The bot needs Send Messages, Embed Links, and Attach Files in any channel it'll post in. That's it — it doesn't ask for moderation perms on your server.
2. Pair channels
Now that the bot is on your server, pair Discord channels to Rust Pulse event kinds. See Channel routing for the full list.
Disconnecting
The dashboard's Discord settings page has a Disconnect button. The bot leaves your server cleanly and all routes are removed. Re-connecting later requires re-authorising.
Not to be confused with…
This is your alert bot on your Discord. The Rust Pulse support Discord (community help, /faq, /ticket, status board) is a separate server at discord.rustpulse.app. You don't install anything for that — just join the invite.
