### Plateforme centralisée de tryouts ## Discord Integration for One on One Requests The application supports sending Discord direct messages to coaches when players request One on One sessions. ### Setup Instructions #### 1. Create a Discord Bot 1. Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) 2. Create a new application 3. Go to the "Bot" tab and create a bot user 4. Copy the bot token - this will be your `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` 5. Enable the "Message Content Intent" under Privileged Gateway Intents (required for sending messages) #### 2. Configure Environment Variables Add the following to your `.env` file (create one if it doesn't exist): ``` DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL=optional_webhook_url_for_backup ``` - `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`: Required for sending direct messages to coaches - `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL`: Optional fallback for webhook-based notifications #### 3. Add Coaches to the Bot For the bot to send DMs to coaches: 1. Each coach must have the bot added to their Discord server OR be friends with the bot 2. Coaches need to add their Discord User ID to their profile: - Enable Developer Mode in Discord (User Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode) - Right-click on their profile → Copy ID - Enter this numeric ID in the "Discord User ID" field in their profile settings ### How It Works When a player submits a One on One request: 1. The system checks if the coach has a Discord User ID configured 2. If configured, a direct message is sent to the coach via the Discord bot 3. If the bot fails or no Discord User ID is set, the system falls back to the webhook URL (if configured) 4. The message includes player name, team, requested date/time, and discussion points ### Message Format The Discord DM includes: - Player name - Team name - Requested date and time slot - Discussion points (if provided) - Link to the application for approval/rejection
