Deploying Your Bot
Deploy your bot to VibeBot's cloud servers and keep it running 24/7.
Before You Deploy
Make sure you have:
Deployment Steps
Open Bot Configuration
Navigate to your VibeBot dashboard and click on the bot you want to deploy.
Click Deploy Button
Look for the "Deploy" button in the top right corner of your bot configuration page.
Enter Discord Bot Token
A dialog will appear asking for your Discord bot token.
First time deploying?
Paste the bot token you got from Discord Developer Portal. If you haven't obtained one yet, follow our Discord Token Guide.
Redeploying?
If you previously deployed, your token is saved. Just click "Deploy" to update your bot with the latest changes.
Confirm Deployment
Review the deployment details and click "Deploy Bot" or "Confirm".
VibeBot will validate your token, package your behaviors, and send your bot to the cloud.
Wait for Deployment
The deployment process typically takes 10-30 seconds. You'll see a progress indicator.
Deployment Successful!
Your bot is now running on VibeBot's cloud servers. You'll see a green status indicator showing "Online".
Next step: Invite your bot to your Discord server
After Deployment
Checking Bot Status
You can always check if your bot is online from your VibeBot dashboard. Look for the status indicator next to your bot's name:
Making Changes
When you add, edit, or remove behaviors, you need to re-deploy for changes to take effect:
- Make your changes in the bot configuration
- Click "Deploy" again
- The bot will update with your new configuration
- You don't need to re-invite the bot to your server
Viewing Logs
Check your bot's logs from the dashboard to see what it's doing and diagnose any issues. Logs show triggers fired, actions executed, and any errors.
Troubleshooting
Deployment Failed
Common causes:
- Invalid bot token - verify you copied it correctly
- Token doesn't have required intents enabled
- Bot was deleted on Discord Developer Portal
Bot Offline After Deployment
Try these steps:
- Wait 1-2 minutes - sometimes it takes time to start
- Check if you have an active subscription (trial or pro)
- Verify your bot token is still valid on Discord
- Try redeploying
Bot Not Responding to Commands
Checklist:
- Make sure the bot is invited to your server
- Check that behaviors are enabled (not disabled)
- Verify the bot has necessary permissions
- Look at bot logs for error messages
