How to Use Eribot
A comprehensive guide to help you get started
Getting Started with Eribot
Follow these steps to set up Eribot for your Discord server.
Log in with Discord
Click the "Login with Discord" button in the top-right corner of the page. You'll need to authorize Eribot to access your Discord account.
Eribot only requests the permissions it needs to function, such knowledge of servers you're in. Eribot uses Encrypted JWT tokens to store Discord Information.
Navigate to Your Servers
Once logged in, click on "Manage" in the navigation bar. This will show you all the Discord servers where you have admin permissions.
Only servers where users have admin permissions will be displayed, as a way to make sure only people you trust can alter your schedule
Select Your Discord Server
Click on the Discord server you want to manage with Eribot. If this is your first time using Eribot with this server, you'll be taken to the onboarding process.
Servers with a "Setup Needed" badge require you to complete the onboarding process before you can manage streams.
Complete the Onboarding Process
For new servers, you'll need to complete a two-step onboarding process:
- Invite the Eribot: Click the "Invite Bot to Server" button to add Eribot to your Discord server.
- Set up streamer information: Enter your streamer name and configure basic settings.
After completing these steps, you'll be redirected to your server's management page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see my Discord server?
You need administrator permissions in a Discord server to use Eribot with it. If you don't see your server, make sure you have the administrator permission.
Can I connect multiple Twitch accounts?
Not currently, Eribot supports connecting one Twitch account per Discord server. Each server can have its own unique Twitch connection.
Will there be youtube support soon?
not for a long while, I've looked into it and with the free api from youtube I could make 3 live streams per day, which isn't enough to support more than 0.75 users. Maybe in the future or if the youtube api changes
Does the website update automatically?
Yes! The generated website automatically fetches the latest schedule data from Eribot, if you don't want this to happen, don't add a stream to Eribot until you're ready (subject to change in the future)
Is there a mobile app?
No, Eribot is a web-based application with one very tired (back end) dev. Eventually I'll try and make it look okay on mobile.
