User-installable App

Discord has recently introduced a feature that allows users to install bots directly to their user accounts. This enables you to access the bot's commands across all Discord contexts: direct messages (DMs), group DMs (GDMs), and even servers where the bot isn't a member.

SkyHelper fully supports user installations, allowing you to use nearly all its commands seamlessly. However, some commands require the bot to be present in a server to function correctly. For details on which commands are server-specific, please refer to the Commands page.

Benefits of User Installation

  • Universal Access: Use SkyHelper commands in any Discord context
  • Direct Messages: Get Sky information privately without needing a server
  • Group DMs: Share Sky content with friends in group conversations
  • Server Independence: Use commands even in servers where SkyHelper isn't added

How to Install SkyHelper

Adding SkyHelper to your user account is quick and easy, similar to adding it to a server—though the process slightly differs. Follow these steps:

Click the "Try it now" button

This will start the authorization process for your user account.

Authorize the bot, and you're all set

Grant the necessary permissions and confirm the installation.

You can now access SkyHelper's commands anywhere, either through the App Launcher or by typing / in any chat.

Server-Specific Commands

Some commands require the bot to be added to a server to function properly. These include: - /shards-live - Requires webhook permissions - /skytimes-live - Requires webhook permissions - /reminders - Requires webhook permissions - Other admin commands that manage server features

Using Commands

Once installed, you can access SkyHelper commands in several ways:

Method 1: Slash Commands

  • Type / in any chat to see available commands
  • SkyHelper commands will appear in the list
  • Select the command you want to use

Method 2: App Launcher

  • Click the apps icon (grid icon) in the chat input
  • Find SkyHelper in your installed apps
  • Browse and select commands from the interface

Method 3: Direct Message

  • Send a direct message to SkyHelper
  • Use any supported command just like in a server

Managing Your Installation

You can manage your user app installations by:

  1. Going to User Settings
  2. Navigating to "Authorized Apps"
  3. Finding SkyHelper in the list
  4. Modifying or removing permissions as needed

Troubleshooting

Commands not appearing?

  • Make sure you've properly authorized the app
  • Try refreshing Discord or restarting the application
  • Check that you're typing / to trigger the command menu

Server-specific commands not working?

  • These commands require SkyHelper to be added to the server
  • Ask a server admin to add SkyHelper using the server invite link
  • Alternatively, use the command in a server where SkyHelper is already present
