Discord is one of the most popular voice and text apps for communities. If you run a Discord Server you can automatically reward your Ko-fi supporters with Discord roles for one-off Supporters or monthly Members!
Setting up Discord Roles
In your Discord Settings click "Connect Discord Server", login to Discord and select the server that you want to connect to Ko-fi and click "Continue".
Next, you will need to authorize permissions for Ko-fi to Manage Roles and Create Invites, make sure to keep these selected and then click "Authorize".
You will then see that your Discord server has been successfully connected to your Ko-fi account.
You can disconnect from Discord at any time by clicking the "Connected" button.
Make Ko-fi Bot the Top Role
Please, make sure that the Ko-fi bot is at the top of your Roles and do not change its permissions to ensure that all your Discord Roles get assigned correctly.

You can now assign Discord Roles to your Supporters, Monthly Subscribers and Tier Members.
