Error Saving Settings for Stream Alerts on Discord

Error saving settings, make sure the bot has permissions in that channel

Setting up stream alerts on your Discord server is a great way to let your community know when you're going live and attract more viewers. However, you may encounter an error message that says, "Error saving settings, make sure the bot has permissions in that channel." This means you need to grant specific permissions to the bot in the channel you're trying to configure.

While the bot may have global permissions, it's important to ensure it has permissions in the specific channel you want to use with BotRix. To do this, follow these simple steps:

  1. Open Discord and locate the channel where you want to set up the alerts with BotRix.
  2. Right-click on the channel and select "Edit Channel." This will open a window with various settings.
  1. In the window, click on the "Permissions" tab. Here, you can manage the roles and members with channel-specific permissions.
  2. Add BotRix to the roles or members section, depending on your preference.
  3. Once BotRix is added, grant it the permission "Manage Webhooks." This permission allows the bot to create and manage webhooks for sending the stream alerts.
  4. Save the changes.

That's it! After completing these simple steps, you should be able to configure your stream alerts without any issues. The "Error saving settings" message should no longer appear, and your Discord server will be ready to notify your community about your live streams.

Remember to double-check that the bot has the necessary permissions in the specific channel you're using for stream alerts. Granting the "Manage Webhooks" permission ensures smooth and successful configuration.
