Discord
Install the Pangea Discord bot, link member identities, and work with an agent in a Discord thread.
Install the Pangea Discord bot to work with your team's agents from a Discord server. You enable a channel, mention the bot with a task, and the agent replies in a thread.
Install the bot
- As a team Administrator, open Connectors, find Discord and click Add, then click Install Discord Bot.
- Discord opens in your browser. Choose the server and approve the bot.
- You return to the Mac app. Your Discord account is linked to your Pangea team at the same time.
The bot asks only for the permissions it needs. It never asks for Administrator.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| View Channels | See the channels you enable |
| Send Messages | Reply to you |
| Read Message History | Read the thread it is working in |
| Create Public Threads | Start a thread for each task |
| Send Messages in Threads | Reply inside that thread |
Enable a channel
Installing the bot does not enable every channel. In each channel you want to use, run:
/pangea enable
Then mention the bot with a task. Pangea replies in a thread, and later messages there continue the same agent session. Run /pangea disable to stop the bot from accepting mentions in that channel.
Link each member
Other members must link their own Discord identity. They open the Discord connection in Pangea and click Link Discord Account. Each person's turns use their own Pangea permissions and selected credentials. An unlinked member does not borrow the installer's access.
Permission modes
A linked member can set the mode for their own turns in a thread:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/pangea auto |
Use Auto Mode for your turns in this thread |
/pangea full-access |
Use Full Access for your turns in this thread |
See permission modes. Do not assume an unattended thread pauses before every write, or shows the same plan cards as the Mac app or Slack.
Files and verification
Try a simple read-only question in an enabled channel before production work. Files can go to and from the agent within Discord's size limits. When a file is too large, download it from Pangea instead. Think about who can read the Discord thread before the agent returns private data.
Troubleshooting
If the bot does not answer, check the installation, that the channel is enabled, that the sender linked their account, and that the sender has access to the connectors the task needs. Removing a link or the server connection does not erase messages already posted in Discord.
