Receive messages from Discord (Elite subscribers only)

Close the menu. Finally, copy the last identifier in the URL (that's your channel's identifier):
Done for the Discord part ;) Now, open the
bridge2 website and open the "Discord" bridge:
Paste the identifier of your channel, which you copied just before, and click on "Display":
Click on "Copy command", and paste it in the bot's chat window to subscribe the bot to this feed :)
If you have any trouble, ask help on the
support group ;)
