Troubleshooting

Bot not responding to commands

Ensure the bot has permissions to read messages and send messages in the channel. Check that you’re using / slash commands, not ! prefix commands.

Can't create bounties

Ensure you’re logged in with /login and have connected your bounty.new account.
