Error without Administrator premissions

[xdmichal]

If I check: Manage Webhooks, Read Messages/View Channel, Send Messages in OAuth2 ( https://discord.com/developers/applications )
I have this error

If I check Administrator there is no error

I didn't add permissions directly in discord app to the channel and role of the bot

The first screenshot you show is I guess the Bot Permissions page of the Discord Developer Portal? Those checks don't do anything, it just calculates a number for you. You can ignore that safely. You do need to set the Intents on the Discord Developer Portal, like you already did.

However, you do need to give the permissions Send Messages, Read Messages and Manage Webhooks on the Discord server to the bot. This is not in the Discord Developer Portal, but in Discord, on the actual server you added the bot to. Once you assigned the bot these permissions, it will function as expected.

Edit: ah, you already figured that out :)

Created #245, as the wording in the README weren't all that clear what to do where. Hopefully that helps the next person :)
