# Add the Bot ## Inviting the bot To add the bot to your server you will need to invite it using the [invite link](https://nvstly.com/addbot) then select the server you want to add it to.\ Bot Invite Link: ![](/files/pPb4Ot3wwj2jvTbe4jg4) ## Permissions The bot's permissions are required for it to function, this is to ensure a high quality user experience as it was intended. None of these permissions are security sensitive. ![](/files/oypqjfzBeUMx9GmQDbxo)\ \ There is 1 **optional** permission that you can grant the bot after it has been added. The `Manage Roles` permission will allow the bot to create roles that are linked to badges on the website such as ***Top Trader*** and ***High Win Rate*** which are rewarded to traders who earned them from holding a top ranked position on the leaderboard, or having a 70% win rate or higher. ### Greeting Message When the bot joins the server it scans for channels with the keywords "general", "hangout", & "chat" to send it's greeting message. If it does not detect a channel containing a key word it sends the message into the first channel it has the `Send Messages` permission. \ \ This greeting message will inform you that a setup is not required but will prompt you with the available commands for settings.\ \ --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
