I wanted to make a discord relay bot for my server, so I followed this guide: https://github.com/ClassiCube/MCGalaxy/wiki/Discord-relay-bot. However, on server startup, it said

Error sending request to Discord API (POST /channels/1393772596650053733/messages)

!!!Error (The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.) - See Logs tab for more details

Discord API returned: {"message": "Missing Access", "code": 50001}

And when I looked at logs, there seemed to be a long string of incomprehensible gibberish, which I have added below for your discretion.

Type: WebException

Source: System

Message: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix this? Thanks.

I think you did not enable the message intents in the settings for the bot on the Discord developer panel.

I did, it's message content intent, right?

Does the bot have the Send Messages permission in the channel it is set to send messages to?

What do you mean?

Found out the problem, forgot to add the bot to my server *facepalms*.
