OK I’ve developed the plugin a little further now and have POC for two way communication working: Here are the new settings ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/c/5cf01946d6d8d9b76700eca6226fb92bf0e2a5e3.png) - You can designate an Announcements Channel on Discord in the plugin settings. - You can now type into the assigned Discord Announcements Channel and this will post your message to your assigned Discourse Topic in the plugin settings - You can set up a list of Categories in Discourse to post to the Announcements channel on your Discord if someone Posts there or adds a new Topic (either or both). [https://github.com/merefield/discourse-discord-bot/commit/a19aa35f6aab2504aa220a1ab3856475f27c795a](https://github.com/merefield/discourse-discord-bot/commit/a19aa35f6aab2504aa220a1ab3856475f27c795a) In addition I’ve added a new file to manage Discord events supported by the `discordrb` API, with Announcements logic being the first example (feel free to develop new ones and PR if of general use to the community). I’ve also _removed_ the changes required to app.yml to install `libsodium-dev` as this is now optional having updated the dependencies and not required for the plugin at present (no need to handle voice). This will make installation much simpler. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discord-bot-construction-kit/122530)._
