DISCORD_TRIGGER_ROLES	The roles that trigger the bot, separated by a comma.

Storing and using the bot token

Warning

The token should be stored as a environment variable and not committed to the repository.
Posting it publicly is a security risk, and Discord will reset it (docs.github.com) if committed to a public repository.

The authorized bot user must have...

• the server member intent, which can be enabled on the application dashboard.
• the MANAGE_ROLES permission for the DISCORD_GUILD_ID it is configured to run on
• a role higher than DISCORD_ROLE_TO_ADD
