Adding Rick to your Discord community? This topic guides you through the process.
Activation
[!warning] For Rick to work, his highest-ranking role needs the custom color below for aesthetics. Without this dot
.commands won’t work.
The best practice for this, is to change his default “Rick” role color to the required color.
Alternatively, create a new role with the required color, and assign it to Rick. Make sure to drag the role above the default Rick role.

If you have a complex role hierarchy and are experienced with permission structures, you can also make a cosmetic role (without any permissions). Make sure that this is the highest ranking role you assign to Rick. This makes it easier if you already have a complex role configured for other bots in your server.
Invite Rick
Required permissions
Rick needs the following permissions for the channels where you want him to be, to work properly.
