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:
Open the bot's profile and click the "Add App" button
You can also use this direct link to get started.
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
